What You Will Do

Our tour offers you a enjoyable day out in an unspoilt corner of the Bavarian countryside. Home to the Benedictine monks for over five hundred years this beautiful monastery clings to the old Monkish tradition of hospitality beer brewing which you can still enjoy to this day. On the pleasurable train journey from Munich your expert guide will inform you about the history and daily life in a Benedictine monastery as well the rise and fall of the Counts of Andechs the original owners of the land. Once there you hike up an medieval pilgrims route and enjoy the views of the alps as you get to the top. Alternatively you can take a bus. At the monastery itself you can explore the wonderful baroque church then relax in the bräustüberl/beer hall or the beautiful beer garden drinking the traditional beer and eating locally sourced food. On the way down there is also an opportunity to cool off with a refreshing paddle or swim in the nearby lake Ammersee before coming home.

Andechs Monastery

2 hours

Your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel before you embark together on a train that passes though the beautiful Bavarian countryside. On your way to the famous lake Ammersee you will learn about the history of the monastery and the House of Andechs. Once there you have a choice of either enjoying a forty minute hike on an old pilgrims route to the top of the Holy Mountain itself where you can see the wonderful baroque church of the monastery, admire the views from the balcony and enjoy a refreshing beer and tuck into the locally sourced specialties. Alternatively, you can do all of the above but if you want to make it a lazier day we can just take the bus to the top of the hill!
