Munich: Andechs Monastery Private Day Trip
Bavaria, Munich
Discover one of Bavaria's true gems. Hike up the pilgrims path (or take the bus) to the abbey where you can explore the magnificent church and then enjoy traditional food with a well earned beer.
Tour of Kloster Andechs monastery, Bavarian countryside hike, and local food and beer tasting perfect for history and nature enthusiasts.
Discover Kloster Andechs, a monastery with a history spanning over five centuries, still home to Benedictine monks who continue traditional hospitality and beer brewing.
The tour begins with a scenic train ride through the Bavarian countryside while learning about Andechs’ history, from its origins as a castle of the Counts of Andechs, through their rise and downfall, to its establishment as a Benedictine monastery in 1455. Gain insight into the history, traditions, and daily life of the monks.
After the ride, hike a medieval pilgrimage route offering countryside views, or choose to take the bus instead. At the monastery, explore the Baroque church before relaxing in the beer hall or garden with monk-brewed beer and locally sourced food.
