マルクトオフィンゲンのおすすめランニングルート

In the Way of the Cross meditation written by Pope Francis – on Good Friday 2025 in the Roman Colosseum – the Holy Father, who died a few days later (Easter Monday), invited us to allow ourselves to be contemplated by the crucified love of Jesus: + "Our darkness seeks the light. (...) now [the crowd] encounters the spectacle of a love never before seen, a beauty that moves them to rethink. To those who see you dying, Lord, you give the opportunity to beat their breasts and turn around, to strike their hearts so that their hardness may be broken. Jesus, grant us, who often observe you from afar, that we may always remember you in our lives, so that even death, one day when you will come, may find us alive." (Pope Francis)

Wonderful museum with items from the everyday life of the people in the Ries from the past, neatly sorted by topic and the exhibits in excellent condition.

Beautiful place behind the Maihingen monastery

romantic spot

Nice place with many cultural and Christian aspects. You can spend some time alone at the monastery or in the museum

Very baroque old church ⛪️

This is the Maihingen monastery church. The monastery, founded in 1459 by the Order of Birgitte, was taken over by the Minorites in 1607, for whom it was their home until secularization in 1802. The Minorites rebuilt the monastery (1703) and the magnificent monastery church (1712 to 1719). Today the monastery church is mainly used by the parish for particularly festive services. Anyone looking for a stop here will first admire the decorative furnishings. But the visitor will also appreciate the quiet of a place of worship that has not been overtaken by mass tourism.

The idyllic Maihingen Monastery is located directly on the Romantic Road and the pilgrimage route to St. James. Today the monastery is run by the Lumen Christi community, which regularly offers seminars. There you can see the historic buildings and the beautiful open permaculture garden. Conveniently, you will also find rooms to stay overnight in the monastery during a hike. You can find more information here: https://www.kloster-maihingen.de.
