Hiking

These old monastery walls catch your eye from the main street. You can approach it from all sides via detours and examine it up close.

Gothic building of a Franciscan monastery. Founded in the middle of the 13th century. The oldest document mentioning the monastery is from 1272. In 1528, after secularization, the monastery was dissolved and the monks moved to Limburg. Everything was demolished except for the monks' home. The most beautiful view is from outside the city walls

Right next to the Diebsturm is the Gothic building of the Franciscan monastery, also known as the barefoot monastery. It is a beautiful, old building that also frequently hosts exhibitions.
