Very nicely renovated church, somewhat simpler but impressive

The former train station is located almost at the monastery and opposite the monastery garden.

The station was located near Schöntal Monastery and once served passenger and freight traffic—especially for agricultural products and visitors to the monastery. With the discontinuation of rail operations in the 1980s, it lost its function.

The narrow-gauge railway connected Möckmühl with Dörzbach and ran for approximately 40 kilometers through the idyllic Jagst Valley, including Jagsthausen. The line opened in 1905 and remained in operation until the 1980s, most recently primarily for freight traffic.

A great trail that winds along the Jagst River. The sound of the river can be heard repeatedly.

The church dates back to the Middle Ages and has been remodeled several times. Its interior is understated, with a Baroque altar and lovingly crafted details. Surrounded by ancient trees and the cemetery, it exudes a quiet, dignified atmosphere.
