サンクトトーマスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Zendscheidの入り口にある駐車場。 テーブルとベンチも利用可能です。夏場はガラス瓶回収コンテナのせいでスズメバチが大量発生します。

St. Thomas修道院の回廊で撮った写真をいくつか載せます。

When we hear of the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people in Germany probably automatically think back two thousand years to the time of Christ, because one of the twelve apostles Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the biblical accounts of the New Testament, he is nicknamed "Didymus," which means "twin" in German. In this case, however, the chosen patronage of the former monastery and current retreat house—and also the namesake of this place in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm—refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118 to 1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his bishopric and martyrdom. Incidentally, Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually in the komoot system—at the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/231266

Due to the sharp drop in prices, hop cultivation around Kyllburg was stopped at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the hop terraces are largely dilapidated and overgrown. In the immediate vicinity of the old hop terraces we find a weather shelter that offers us welcome shelter in the event of an unexpected rain shower.

On our hike along the rock path, we have a beautiful view of St. Thomas.

From here you have a beautiful view of St. Thomas with its former Cistercian abbey.
