Ebrach Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

great RR destination. There is plenty of food and culture on site! easy to reach e.g. from Bamberg (approx. 40 km of best RR paths)

The former Cistercian Abbey of Ebrach is a popular destination. With its wonderful rosette, the Gothic church and the castle-like baroque monastery are one of the regional highlights that are well worth seeing

The Cistercian Abbey of Ebrach was probably the most important place for the intellectual and colonization development of the western Bamberg region and the entire Steigerwald region. In the depths of the Steigerwald, which they reclaimed, monks practically created a Romanesque and from 1200 the most magnificent early Gothic building in Germany in the depths of the Steigerwald, as the art historian Konrad Dehio judged. Generous foundations and support from the Staufer kings allowed the new foundation to flourish and prosper. In the 18th century, the Ebrach monastery was fundamentally redesigned by Leonhard Dientzenhofer into a castle-like baroque complex, fortunately the Gothic church with its wonderful rose window remained. In 1803 the monastery was secularized. The wonderful wooded surroundings of the Steigerwald and the historical past of this site of monastic culture made Ebrach a popular attraction.

Steigerwald Treetop Walk

Highlight • Viewpoint

Absolutely worthwhile is a visit to the treetop trail. Suitable for big and small (also with stroller). The construction alone is worth seeing. Definitely also a detour to the info center to Handthal make (nice walk through the forest, suitable for strollers, also possible by bicycle)
