Much, much more than worth seeing! A walkable floor labyrinth has an effect just by walking through it! Take each step mindfully, as if it were the only step of this life. And it's best to walk in the rhythm of your exhalation. The words and invitations on the three stone tablets in the center are spiritual impulses for every person - regardless of religious beliefs, regardless of religion - to feel connected. This is where centering and connection arise. The texts on the three stone tablets I. that you escape the turmoil of this time and the many wrong paths II. together - all - reach the place of rest and peace III. "the still point" where HE awaits you - >> (this does NOT mean death!) Text from https://www.benediktushof-holzkirchen.de/benediktushof/gartenanlagen/ Symbol of our life's path Labyrinths are not mazes. They have a single, winding path that leads from the starting point to the destination over the longest possible distance. The labyrinth serves as a symbol of the human path through life with its numerous changes of direction. Like the path through the labyrinth, our path through life also leads us through many twists and turns, through times of suffering and joy, until we finally reach the center of our lives. We think we have reached our goal and are repeatedly led out, just like in real life. The Exercise Those who enter the labyrinth should do so with the awareness of entering a sacred, timeless space. The labyrinth can support us in bringing stillness. Mindful walking helps us to escape our thoughts, as in meditation. Everything disappears except for the path we are taking. The labyrinth serves as an exercise in remaining centered with every step. The goal is not the center of the labyrinth, but rather finding our own center, which is always there and lies within us. It invites us to entrust ourselves to it. It leads us to the essence of our lives.

A little off the bike path, and private property. There is nothing left of the former bathing establishment. But it is interesting to think about what it used to be like here.
