What it is

An hour with a guide through the monastery's 750 years: the Cistercian foundation, the monks' life, the church and the monastic buildings, and what happened after the Reformation.

How it works

From May to the end of October, on Saturdays and Sundays at 11:00 and 13:00, with no booking: you buy your ticket at the ticket office at the main entrance. From July to September there are also departures from Monday to Friday at 14:00. It costs €10 (€8 concession and children). The rest of the year, on weekdays, the basic tour can be booked, and in autumn and winter there are lantern-lit evening tours on set dates.
