Beautiful Abbey grounds and lots of hiking paths that go around the lake and the monastery. No fee to enter to the church grounds other than paying for parking if you stay for a while. Inside you still need to wear a mask but the outside areas it is not required on the grounds.

Must stay over night. It’s an experiment of a day with a walk trip to the lake and night in a hotel that Offer a very nice room and breakfast with amazing view

Beautiful location with a lake for walking, animals and a wonderful abbey. There are some small shops around it for souvenirs, plants ans books. Definitely one good weekend spot to go!!

Great for a day trip. You can hike around the lake, rent a boat, explore the abbey garden centre, buy local handcraft and produce and of course enjoy a spiritual experience in the old abbey especially when listening to the bells. You'll feel transported to a different century. There's also the abbey restaurant to enjoy reasonably priced and good food while enjoying a sunny day on the outside seating area. All in all a great experience even if you want to stay to explore more vulcanic lakes for which this area is known for. Highly recommend

We can see the wonderful heritage and legacy of monks Maria Laach. The deep rooted memory of a rich civilisation is hidden in between the sleepin volcanic mountains.

Beautiful abbey next to a lake! Went on a beautiful day and enjoyed walking around it. Wonderful depictions of Jesus are inside.

Beautiful monastery, close cheap parking with a nearby lake

Beautiful and a must visit.

Nice pictoresque abbey that is still in use by Benedictine monks and dating (w/ breaks and upgrades) back to the middle ages. The guided tour offers primarily info and outside views with the exception of the great study library that was created by Jesuite monkes that intermittendl, stayed at the abbey. The cathedral and its crypt is a marvel for the eyes and publically accessible. The abbey offers guest quarters for pius up to leisure vistors.

Loved the visit… just wish we had more time here!

Magic place - nice also for hiking

This is a tourist destination for a diverse audience. It was founded in 1093 and stands today as a beautiful cloister in a setting that is a combination of mountains and a lake carved by volcanic activity with farming and lots of locally produced goods. There is a 10km hike around the lake. I saw lots of fall colors, but it was clear that in summer there are lots of lake activities and in winter a Christmas Market. There is a Gärtnerei with many unique plants, a sculpture garden, an organic food market and a hotel. Free parking for motorcycles!
