My highlight! The monastery and the grounds are beautiful. We started in Stadtoldendorf and made our way there along the monastery path along the edge of the forest. The way back went through the rustic and beautiful Hooptal. Past the mill pond (where, with a bit of luck, you can see the kingfisher) and along the many old abandoned sandstone quarries and the stacked sandstone retaining walls. The dipper also feels at home at the Forstbach. If you are out and about at night or at dusk, you will come across fire salamanders and can hear tawny owls and eagle owls.

From September 15, 2024, stamp station 12 of the hiking treasures of the Wild Homeland will be located behind the monastery at the signpost.

The Amelungsborn monastery with the monastery church of St. Mary was founded in 1135 as one of the first Cistercian monasteries in Lower Saxony. Today it belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran State Church of Hanover. Also worth seeing is the monastery garden, which was redesigned according to traditions from the 9th to 16th centuries. Vegetables, fruit and monastery kitchen herbs grow there.

Tip along the way:
Explore the monastery grounds! If you like, you can also take a look inside the church. It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in summer and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in winter.

The stamp station for the old Cistercian monastery Amelungsborn from the 12th century, which is well worth seeing. The wall can be overcome using a steel staircase.
