Nice place for a break. Possibly to have a drink or eat something in the deep shadows and a little "Streichelzoo" for the kids and young at heart.

My plan was to take a dip in the water here. Which turned out to be forbidden on this side of the pond. There is a camping site with a beach just across the pond though.

The small chapel is located on the L1190 in Pfaffenreith. If it is open, take the opportunity to visit.

There is a seaside resort with a large shady lawn right next to the Edlerseeteich

The herb garden was laid out more than 30 years ago by the well-known herbalist Hermann-Josef Weidinger.

The first baroque impression is deceptive: Geras Abbey is originally a medieval complex - the collegiate church, the cloister and the adjoining rooms were always rebuilt on the floor plan of the original complex. The massive pillars of the first three-aisled basilica from the 12th century are still visible under the stucco marble in the church. One of the treasures of the monastery is the so-called Marble Hall above the main portal. The ceiling is adorned with a magnificent, signed fresco by Paul Troger, and the exterior facade bears the handwriting of Jakob Christoph Schletterer.

According to the inscription, the cross was built in 1881 and renovated in 1959 by the Guth family from Geras.
