scheyern abbey - bavaria

on our way home from the 70ties birthday party in franconia we have visited the the scheyern abbey (kloster scheyern). we do almost always visit some interesting spots on OR near to our roads, you know? the main reason for scheyern was to visit its brewery and to try its dark beer. well, it was not bad but also nothing what makes you crazy, at least not the first 2 or 3 glasses 😂. and the public bar we went in was also acoustically much too loud, so not the nicest place to be. but yes, there are other restaurants in the scheyern abbey too ...

the benedictine monastery scheyern was founded in 1119

stift melk ~ melk abbey ~ austria

on the way back from slovakia we stopped by in melk abbey (benediktinerkloster stift melk, vorher auch stift mölk) in the wachau area of austria, at the beautiful unesco heritage benedictine monastery built 1702–1746 above the danube river. 

it is beautiful from outside + from inside, my dears and among others, it accomodates austrias oldest still operating high school (gymnasium).

enjoy few pictures:
