Kloster Kreuzberg (English)

(So, here's something quickly-slapped-together...)

A couple of years ago, in autumn, we took a bike trip to the Kloster on the Kreuzberg, the holy mountain of the Franconians, (or one of the Franconians' holy mountains?). From the station in Bad Neustadt, the trip is nearly 30 km uphill, often really steep. It was our toughest bike trip in Franconia, at least up to that time.

The Kloster is famous for its brewery and situation on the 900 meter high mountain. It's been a favourite goal of pilgrims for centuries, with inexpensive accomodation.

After we'd checked in, ( room 25 ; view from window ; spic and span, doubtless because of the helpful potty sign ), it was time to eat and drink (Ausschank) . The guest rooms were full and smokey, so we stayed in the Schwemme . The Klosterbier is dark and malty, the food from the cafeteria-style service wasn't noteworthy though, albeit really cheap. A couple of brethren walked through and maintained the peace; the guests are not to be disturbed by mobile phones and the like: "It's a Kloster here, not a discothek."

The house rules require retirement to bed at 22.00, and then the gates to the outside world are locked. Since there's no television, a night spent in the Kloster is quite quiet and peaceful. If you score a Maß or two to take to your room, the quiet is much more bearable.

The next morning was cold and wet, nonetheless we made some photos:

After we'd checked out, we rode up to the peak. From there the trip down to Bad Neustadt was cold, wet, and long.

A visit is certainly recommendable, and although there are better beers in Franconia (but after 3+ sweaty hours on your bike, it tastes especially good and "easily lets itself be slurped down "), the ambience is fairly one-of-a-kind.

Kreuzberg Monastery

So something quickly thrown together ...

In the fall a few years ago we did a bike tour to the monastery on the Kreuzberg, the sacred mountain of the franc (or one of the sacred mountains of the Franks?) . From the train station in Bad Neustadt is the distance almost 30 km uphill, often quite steep. She was our most strenuous bike ride in Swiss francs, at least until that date.

The monastery is famous for its brewery and location on the 900 meter high mountain. It is a popular destination for pilgrims for centuries, with reasonable accommodation.

After we checked in (room 25 ; view from the window , sparkling clean, no doubt because of the helpful Pee Shield ) it was time to drink (serving) and eating. The guest rooms were full and smoky, so we stayed in the glut. The monastery is dark and malty beer, the food from the canteen but not beseonderes strange, but quite pricey. A few brothers went through and took care of rest, no cell phones & co. may disturb the guests: "It is a monastery, no disco."

The house rules required absolute bed rest at 22.00, and then the doors closed to the outside world. Since there is no television, a night in the monastery is very quiet and calm. You get a degree or two rooms to take, the rest is tolerable.

The next morning it was wet and cold, but we took some photos: The room in the corner in Fürsttenbau a , 2

After we had checked out, we drove to the summit ( 1, 2, 3 ). From there, the trip was down to Bad Neustadt cold, wet and long.

is certainly recommended for a visit real, and although there are better beers in Swiss francs (after 3 + sweaty hours on the bike, it tastes very good and is easy to slurp down), the ambience is rather unique.
