Hiking
The origins of the monastery complex date back to the 12th century and can be broadly divided into four periods: the monastic era until the Reformation (1185-1527), the period of the bailiffs (1541-1803), the poorhouse (1836-1981), and the seminar hotel and educational center (since 1983).
In the immediate vicinity of the monastery, the "Miichsuppenstein" (a stone used to mark the end of the monastery) and the battle monument commemorate the two Kappel Wars of 1529 and 1531.
There is a Monastery Cafe which is open Tue - Sun 8am Till 10pm.
