Unusual Signpost

Highlight • Structure

The Swiss hiking trails are well equipped with signposts. On the other hand, this signpost is curious: it stands in a place where you would not expect a signpost, and there are two distant destinations where hardly anyone would think of hiking from the location of the signpost, with more than unusual times. At least the meaning of this signpost closes me, but I had to smile. Would it be possible that the Swiss hiking trails also have jokers?

Field Cross, Kreuzhof Hörnlistrasse, Fischingen
Spare us, O Lord! 1891
In the cross is salvation, in the cross is life, in the cross is hope.
In the wonders of nature you recognize this trace of God.
But if you want to see Him even greater, then stand by His cross.

Fischingen Monastery History / 900 Years of Monastery History
Since 1879, the monastery properties have been owned by the Fischingen Monastery Association. The monastery is home to a small Benedictine community, which is a tenant. The association also ensures that this national monument is open to the public. It has thus been responsible for the maintenance and revitalization of the historic complex for more than 140 years.
Bishop Ulrich II of Constance founded Fischingen Monastery before 1138. It flourished during the Baroque period and was dissolved by the Thurgau government in 1848.
In 1879, the St. Iddazell Association acquired the monastery complex, which was converted into an educational center in 1982. It remains in its possession to this day.
Starting in 1943, monks from Engelberg came to Fischingen to care for the children's home.
In 1977, they were able to rebuild the old Benedictine abbey.

A SIP OF HEAVEN ON EARTH!
At the Benedictine monastery of Fischingen, we brew handcrafted gourmet beers using traditional recipes combined with modern knowledge and technology. The beers are made from the finest monastery water, select malt, aromatic hops, forest herbs, and spices. The use of rare yeasts and extensive aging results in a unique, full-bodied flavor.

Fischingen Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Here you can take a short or long break and stop at the restaurant or even spend the night in the monastery. A very special experience is spending the night in a former monk's cell.
