Cloister at Heiligenkreuz

You can 'feel' the peace here.

Heiligenkreuz


The Abbey of Heiligenkreuz. A Cistercian monastery The monks recorded a CD entitled 'Chant Music for Paradise' So easy to listen too although I'm sure not everyone ' cup of tea'. It is a beautiful and tranquil place. So much so that I am determined to go back again.

Time for a beer!

After walking about 20 kilometres, plus another 5 or 6 because we lost sight of the trail markers, we just couldn't resist a beer! This was in a cafe just outside the well known monastery of Heiligenkreuz.

Local wild life!


Passing through very nice farm land. So peaceful.

From a platform on high

An hour into the walk and already we are on higher ground. The view around was fantastic. We could see for miles ( Kilometres ). I was just getting into my stride. The weather was great. What more could one ask for?
