Seligenstadt Abbey, the riverside and the ferry

Highlight • Historical Site

The town of Seligenstadt am Main is very popular with cyclists not only because of the well-known local ice cream parlors. There is also much to discover. For example, the Einhard basilica with the beautiful monastery garden invite you to linger. In addition to the monastery complex there are still many buildings to admire with half-timbered and also the town hall, the city fortifications, the water tower or one of the five museums are tourist attractions.

Seligenstadt Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

For nearly a thousand years, monks lived in Seligenstadt Abbey according to the Benedictine rules. Today, with its venerable buildings and beautiful garden, the abbey presents itself as a complete Baroque ensemble and offers an impressive glimpse into monastic life in the 17th and 18th centuries.
A visit to the former Benedictine Abbey of Seligenstadt offers a vivid insight into monastic life according to the Rule of St. Benedict of Nursia (c. 480-547 AD). Chapter 66 of the 73 chapters states: "The monastery should, if possible, be arranged in such a way that everything necessary—namely, water, mill, and garden—is within the monastery walls and that the various crafts can be practiced there. In this way, the monks do not have to wander outside the walls, which is not at all good for them." The Benedictine abbey, founded in 828 by Einhard, advisor to Charlemagne, functioned as a town within a town until its dissolution in 1803.

The bike path on the Großkrotzenburg side isn't particularly good. There are a lot of roots... on the opposite side, the path is almost entirely new.

Originally, I was only supposed to go to the bakery. However, the relatively cool air and light wind compared to the last few days were totally tempting to add a few more kilometers. 😊

But not doing any exercise at all isn't an option either. 🤷🏽‍♀️
