Schöntal Monastery Pharmacy

Highlight • Historical Site

Founded as a Cistercian abbey by Maulbronn monks in the picturesque Jagst valley in 1157, the monastery has developed into a powerful and flourishing monastery complex over the centuries. Schöntal Monastery impresses today with its monumental appearance and the variety of buildings from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. The monastery owes its imposing baroque appearance above all to Abbot Benedikt Knittel (1650-1732). The new abbey, the convent and the monastery church, as well as the holy grave chapel on the Kreuzberg were created during his tenure from 1683.

Even today, the fine, detailed elaborations and the loving stucco ceilings bear witness to great craftsmanship. Abbot Knittel's inscriptions in the form of chronograms or poems are a literary specialty of Schöntal.

Schöntal Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

A very beautiful and spacious monastery complex with the church as its highlight. The buildings outside the monastery walls are also mostly former farm buildings and worth seeing. The monastery café with its garden terrace invites you to take a short break.

Former Schöntal railway station

Highlight • Historical Site

Schöntal station consisted of the main track and a siding. Originally, the goods shed was also connected to a dead-end track. A small coal bunker and a water crane were built in Schöntal in the 1980s for the museum operation.

The Götzenburg was once, as the name suggests, the ancestral seat of the famous knight Götz von Berlichingen. Today, an elegant castle hotel and a castle restaurant are located in the romantic castle complex. The restaurant is open daily from 17h to 21h30.

The annual highlight of the castle are in any case the castle festival. From the beginning of June until the end of August, classic theater plays and modern musicals are performed in the courtyard. More about the festival can be found at schlosshotel-goetzenburg.de/burgfestspiele-jagsthausen.

Jagst Cycle Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Always along the Jagst: Through the forest on roads closed to traffic, it goes from Mockmühl to Jagsthausen. There are almost no cars, but some recreational cyclists. However, the paths are wide enough that you usually do not get in the way.

Anyone who dares to walk a few meters over rough gravel (and has a bathing suit with them) can refresh themselves here in the Jagst.
