Maulbronn Monastery

10/10. This is great for groups or solo explorers. Tours are also available.

Wonderful and well preserved Middle Ages monastery. The audio guide tour is easy to follow and very informative. A MUST see for anyone in the area!

This is an absolute treasure. The monastery and surrounding buildings are very well preserved. We visited in the morning during the week in early June and basically had the place to ourselves.

Nothing special. If you are an experienced traveler, it could be just a nice getaway for a couple of hours, to enjoy the good weather and tranquility of the place. However, no need to go there deliberately. Wheelchair accessible outside only, all in paving slabs. You can get inside with a push chair.

Cool to see. Nice free audio guide via the app. The base info is nice, the additional audio fragments are sometimes slightly lame, but still enjoyable. Inside it is quite dark and cold, so bring a sweater, even if it is like 20c outside.

Best preserved medieval Monastery north of the Alps.

Really nice monastery full with interesting small spots to discover. Paying the ticket to go inside is totally worthy. Don't forget to get the secret path to the nearby lake.

This monastery was founded in 1147! And is one of the best preserved in all Europe. It is stunning in beauty and holds many stories (take the guided tour it's worth it). The monetary was ruled first by the catholic church (the Cistercian order) and then by the protestants. Make sure you enjoy the dining room with its acoustic ;)

Maulbronn Monastery Complex earned the UNESCO world heritage site status in 1993, and it is also one the Europe's most complete and best-preserved medieval monastery complexes. You can get an audio guide at 2 euros in multiple languages, tho no Mandarin. The audio guide provides lots of information and can help you better understand the place. You can feel the tranquility once stepping inside the building. It's recommended to bring a jacket since it is freezing.
