Countryside Beauty

Fifteen miles north of Rattlesdorf are two rare jewels featuring Baroque architecture. Banz Abbey founded by Benedictines was set on a hilltop in 1069. Today it still brews some pretty good beer, offers cafe dining and has fantastic walks around it.






Vierzehnheiligen two miles away is a pilgrimage church for many people. A shepherd is said to have seen 14 saints at this site. It is absolutely beautiful inside and outside. Well worth a trip to see!
