Abtei Himmerod

This is a monastery about 15 minutes from our house. Here is some information I got off of wikipedia:
Monastery Himmerod (According to Scripture inEifler dialect"Hammerd") Is a by 1134/35Bernard of Clairvaux FoundedCistercian--Abbey in theEifel. It is located betweenGroßlittgen andIron Schmitt (Landkreis Bernkastel-Wittlich) In the ValleySalm. Today, 13 monks live there. The monastery has a museum (in the old mill) with changing art exhibitions, a book and art dealer, a restaurant, a guest house and retreats as well as fishing.

It is a very beautiful place to visit and has great scenery for pictures!
