Möllenbeck Monastery is always beautiful. An incredibly beautiful beer garden, friendly service, and endless coziness. I could sit there for hours.

always a good place to take a break. Thanks to the many seating options, you can always find a nice spot, even under trees. Self-service, but the coffee and cake taste good. A playground is available for small children
