Hiking

The gardens of the Schöntal monastery had various functions: the convent garden was for representation and the abbey garden for self-sufficiency. Today, the gardens of the monastery complex have been partially restored in their basic structures.

Hiking

Originally established as kitchen gardens for the Cistercian monks, they served as a means of self-sufficiency, providing them with herbs, vegetables, and medicinal plants. Today, the well-kept gardens invite you to stroll and linger – with views of the imposing monastery church and the historic walls.

Hiking

The monastery garden was formerly used for growing vegetables and fruit, thus providing self-sufficiency. Today, it is used privately (gardens) and is also accessible as a small park.
