Kloster Loccum - Erlengrund

This tour leads to the monastery in Loccum. It is one of the best-preserved Cistercian monasteries north of the Alps and was founded in 1163. The route primarily passes through fields and meadows alongside woodland streams, fragrant wild garlic plants, disused railway tracks, romantic ponds, and the legendary Luccaburg in the monastery forest. In Loccum, there is the opportunity to enjoy ice cream or cake at the Café am Markt or at the unique Klostercafe (called Ufo or Himmelszelt). On the way back, a stop can be made at the biergarten in Erlengrund. Those who wish to skip it can continue straight instead of turning left on the L371. Follow this road for about 2 KM and turn right at the junction towards Berghol.
