👍👍 Eine sehr beeindruckende Barockkirche. Erst wenn man die Geschichte des Klosters kennt ergründet es sich, warum diese Kirche dermaßen groß ist. A very impressive baroque church. Only when you know the history of the monastery does it become clear why this church is so big.

👍👍 impressive and fascinating place. It is very big inside and you can get lost while walking. It has a mystical atmosphere. There is also a shop where you can have a drink. Directly at the exit of the monastery, a long forest path leads to the right. There you can see some sculptures.
