    Andechs Monastery, located in the picturesque town of Andechs, Germany, is a popular destination that combines historical, cultural, and culinary experiences. The monastery, known for its beautiful Baroque architecture, offers visitors a glimpse into Bavarian religious history and art. Many visitors appreciate the stunning views of the surrounding countryside from the monastery's hilltop location.

    The on-site museum houses a collection of religious artifacts and artworks, providing insight into the monastery's long history and significance. While some visitors find the exhibits informative, others mention that more detailed explanations in multiple languages would enhance the experience.

    A major draw for many visitors is the monastery's famous brewery and restaurant. The Andechs beer, brewed by the monks, receives high praise for its quality and taste. The restaurant, serving traditional Bavarian cuisine, is popular among tourists and locals alike. Many visitors recommend trying the pork knuckle and the variety of beers on offer.

    The monastery also features a beautiful church with impressive frescoes and ornate decorations. Visitors often comment on the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity for quiet reflection.

    Some negative points mentioned by visitors include occasional crowding, especially during peak seasons or weekends, and the steep walk up to the monastery for those with mobility issues. A few visitors also note that the gift shop prices are on the higher side.

    Overall, Andechs Monastery offers a well-rounded experience combining history, spirituality, art, and gastronomy, making it a worthwhile visit for those interested in Bavarian culture and heritage.

    Seit vier Generationen pilgern wir zum Kloster Andechs. Alle Jahre. Ich halte meinen kleinen, totkranken Hund auf dem Arm und bleibe direkt an der Tür stehen. Ruft Pater Bulgari " bleiben Sie nicht stehen, kommen Sie ruhig weiter. Bei Franziskus durften Tiere auch in die Kirche und Sie halten Ihren Hund ja sogar auf dem Arm". Danke, Pater Anselm Bilgri!! Jahre später, gleiche Szene. Niemand sonst war in der Nähe , SCHREIT (schreit!!) quer durch die ganze Kirche Pater Exner (?): "RAUS!!! Sofort raus! Verlassen Sie sofort das Gotteshaus!!" Vielleicht nicht nur das Gotteshaus, gleich die Kirche? Christlich und gern gesehen ist nur, wer die Preise im Braeustueberl zahlt. DA ist es voll - in der Kirche leer ...
