The abbey park, which is known to tourists as the travel garden of the city of Bassum, is located in the immediate vicinity of the abbey church. It offers numerous recreation stations, the city's cultural-historical path, a circular orchard hiking trail, the scented herb snack garden and a boules pitch.
