Join in on some fun for the WHOLE FELLOWSHIP (All ages), as we hike to the beautiful Himmerod Abbey! Partake in the entire 12mile/20K round trip journey or arrange for pick up at the Abbey to cut the distance in half. The best pick up location would be Parkplatz Kloster Himmerod

Himmerod Abbey was originally founded in 1134 as a Cistercian abbey by Saint Bernard and operated until the early 19th century before it fell into ruin and was later revived by Cistercian monks from the 1920s onwards until its disestablishment was announced in 2017. While not an operating monastery anymore, the grounds still house a beautiful church, museum, guesthouse, restaurant, art & book shop, and fishery.
