Halbammer River Swimming Spot

Highlight • River

Whether you're hiking or cycling, you shouldn't miss this opportunity for refreshment. The Halbammer is a small mountain river and its water level can vary depending on the season. The water comes directly from the mountains and is therefore very refreshing. Despite this (or perhaps because of this), it's worth stopping here to cool off.

Rottenbuch Abbey Church (Collegiate Church of the Nativity of Mary)

Highlight • Religious Site

Former Augustinian Canonry of Rottenbuch

Between 1074 and the secularization, one of the most important Augustinian Canonry monasteries in Bavaria. Even today, the former monastery buildings bear witness to a glorious past. The jewel in the crown is the venerable monastery church of the Birth of Mary, which, with its harmoniously interwoven Romanesque, Gothic and Rococo architectural styles, is one of the most beautiful places of worship in the Pfaffenwinkel.

Founded in 1074 by Duke Welf I, Rottenbuch Monastery was a very important monastery for many centuries. Pastoral care was particularly important to the Augustinian Canons. From 1604 onwards, they entrusted the Hohen Peißenberg with it. Important students emerged from the monastery school, such as Rochus Dedler, the composer of the Oberammergau Passion Play.

The former Maierhof, the gatehouse, the brewery, the pharmacy and many other buildings still stand today. Anyone who is interested in the monastery's past will find information boards on site that take visitors on an exciting and very informative journey through time along the monastery's circular path.
