A monastery ruin near Felsberg Gensungen. The name Charterhouse goes back to the Carthusian monks who last lived there. The area around the ruins was declared a nature reserve in 1988.
Today, there is a center for beekeeping on the site of the old Charterhouse.

Former monastery of Eppenberg monastery and charterhouse. Today there is an apiculture museum on the site. In addition, simply a romantic ruin and a beautiful view towards the rock castle.

Our ancestors lived here and worked the land. Famine and overpopulation were the reason for the abandonment of this settlement. Today there is a bee museum there. A visitor told me that it was open on the weekend. But unfortunately I did not find any information about it.
