Hiking

Sünte Marienrode was a Benedictine monastery in Wietmarschen, Lower Saxony, in the Grafschaft Bentheim district, which continued to be operated as a women's monastery after the Thirty Years' War. Today there are four restored buildings of the former women's monastery (dissolution of the monastery in 1811), the monastery and pilgrimage museum, a Lourdes grotto and other sights on the site in a large park area around the pilgrimage church of St. Johannes Apostel. The forest area Stiftsbusch, in which the annual family pilgrimage takes place and which is home to two chapels, connects to the site.

On September 14, 1152, the Wietmarscher Ursiedler elected the monk Hildebrand from Utrecht as the first head. This day is considered the founding day of the monastery and community.
