Thierhaupten Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

In summer, you can take a break with coffee and cake in the monastery's inner courtyard, and in winter, at Christmas time, there is always a beautiful Christmas market here, the "Engerlmarkt."

Graves of the Estate Owners

Highlight • Historical Site

The Thierhaupten market has a centuries-old mill tradition. Four mills and a water-driven pumping station have been documented in the village since the 16th century. As part of the village renewal in Thierhaupten in 1999, a historic mill path was created with funds from the Directorate for Rural Development in Krumbach (Swabia) and the Thierhaupten market. The Mühlenweg was opened in 1999 at the beginning of the Swabian Green Week. This romantic path begins at the north gate of the former monastery and mostly leads along the Friedberger Ach to the former paper mill in the north of Thierhaupten. It is signposted and nine information boards inform interested hikers about the history of the mills and the river.

It is best to start your hike at the former monastery. Sufficient parking spaces are available here. The wooden gate on the north side of the monastery takes you briefly into the inner courtyard, but you immediately follow the gravel footpath that goes west of the monastery building. On the south side of the monastery, the path then branches off into the steep but easily accessible Lechleite. Shortly thereafter you will pass the burial site of the former landowners and cross the Friedberger Ach on a wooden footbridge. Along the monastery pond you will be informed about the local fish species and you will reach the two sawmills on the Mühlweg. Here were the oil mill and the water house, of which the building still exists, as well as the upper mill.

Historical views of the two former mills can be seen on the information boards. After this short detour, the path leads back a short distance and you follow the signs to the Klostermühlenmuseum. On the way there, it is worth making a detour to the school and teaching garden of the Thierhaupten fruit and horticultural association, which is cared for with a lot of love and volunteer work. In the southern part there is the possibility to cool your feet at the well water.
