The approach is a bit tedious, but it's worth it. The Steinfeld Monastery, with its basilica, is one of the most important medieval architectural monuments in the Rhineland. The monastery café and a small monastery shop invite you to pause and browse.

The extremely impressive monastery church in the Eifel town of Steinfeld houses the grave of Saint Hermann-Josef, who lived and worked here as a Premonstratensian monk. Based on a legend from his childhood in Cologne - look there "Basilika Sankt Maria im Kapitol", one of the twelve large Romanesque churches in the cathedral city - you will always find fresh apples there as well as here at his high grave, which cannot be overlooked in the central aisle of the basilica, that the visitors leave here.
