Guided tour of the Rock Hermitage Bretzenheim - A mysterious place full of history and mystique
Experience a fascinating journey into the past! The impressive complex is one of the oldest rock-hewn monastery complexes north of the Alps and holds many secrets. Immerse yourself in the tumultuous history of this unique place, which has been shaped over the centuries by hermits, monks, and pilgrims.
During the tour, you will learn how the hermitage was created, what significance it had for its inhabitants, and why it still possesses a special spiritual allure today. Let yourself be enchanted by the mystical atmosphere.
A highlight of the tour is the visit to the crypt as well as the inspection of the entire complex. However, please note that entering the former rock dwelling is unfortunately no longer possible. The ceiling has cracks, and the soft sandstone is at risk of breaking, which is why we have closed this area for safety reasons. Nevertheless, you will gain exciting insights into the lives of the former inhabitants and the impressive construction of this special place.
