Haydau Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Haydau Abbey is located directly on the Fulda Cycle Path. It is the best-preserved Cistercian monastery in Hesse in terms of its structure. Today it is used as a hotel and conference venue. You ride your bike through the middle of this complex and find tradition and innovation, nature and culture, down-to-earthness and cosmopolitanism all connected.

Tucked away on the side of the monastery is a small café with tasty cakes at reasonable prices (not to be confused with the hotel café).

The first few kilometers have been completed and it ended up being three laps. Unfortunately the technique didn't work out quite right but it was fun. The first 65km of city cycling have also been completed.
