Du stehst vor den schweren HolztĂŒren der Abteikirche. Ein leiser Druck auf den eisernen Griff, und die TĂŒr öffnet sich mit einem sanften Knarren. Schon beim ersten Schritt ins Innere umfĂ€ngt dich eine Stille, die so tief ist, dass sie fast körperlich spĂŒrbar wird. Die Luft ist kĂŒhl und trĂ€gt den Hauch von Stein, Weihrauch und Kerzenwachs.

Vor dir erstreckt sich das Hauptschiff, ein langer, hoher Raum, der von mĂ€chtigen SĂ€ulen und Rundbögen getragen wird. Deine Schritte hallen leise auf dem Steinboden wider, als du langsam weiter nach vorne gehst. Das Licht fĂ€llt gedĂ€mpft durch die schmalen Fenster und malt sanfte Muster auf den Boden. Die WĂ€nde sind schlicht, fast karg, und doch strahlen sie eine wĂŒrdevolle Schönheit aus.

Du blickst nach oben, wo das Gewölbe wie ein schĂŒtzender Himmel ĂŒber dir wölbt. Die Steine scheinen Geschichten zu erzĂ€hlen – von Gebeten, die hier seit Jahrhunderten gesprochen wurden, von GesĂ€ngen, die in diesen Mauern widerhallten. Ein leiser Schauer lĂ€uft dir ĂŒber den RĂŒcken, als du spĂŒrst, wie die Zeit hier stillzustehen scheint.

Langsam gehst du weiter in Richtung Chorraum, der sich am östlichen Ende des Hauptschiffs befindet. Hier wird der Raum feierlicher. Der Hochaltar erhebt sich vor dir, geschmĂŒckt mit Kerzen, deren Flackern im Halbdunkel tanzt. Ein paar HolzbĂ€nke stehen in Reihen, als warten sie auf die Mönche, die hier bald zum Gebet zusammenkommen werden. Du spĂŒrst die Heiligkeit dieses Ortes, als wĂŒrdest du auf Zehenspitzen durch einen Raum schreiten, der nicht ganz von dieser Welt ist.

Rechts und links vom Hauptschiff entdeckst du Seitenkapellen, kleine Nischen mit eigenen AltĂ€ren und kunstvollen Details. In einer Kapelle auf der linken Seite siehst du ein farbiges Glasfenster, durch das das Sonnenlicht bunt auf den Boden fĂ€llt. Die Farben scheinen zu leben, als wĂŒrden sie dir etwas erzĂ€hlen wollen. Du bleibst einen Moment stehen, legst die Hand auf den kalten Stein und spĂŒrst die Ruhe, die von diesem Ort ausgeht.

Die Abtei Maria Laach ist mehr als ein GebĂ€ude aus Stein. Sie ist ein Ort, der die Seele berĂŒhrt, ein Ort, an dem die Zeit stillzustehen scheint und die Ewigkeit greifbar wird. Langsam gehst du zurĂŒck zum westlichen Eingang, aber das GefĂŒhl der Ruhe und Heiligkeit bleibt in dir, als wĂŒrdest du ein StĂŒck dieses besonderen Ortes mitnehmen.

Die TĂŒr schließt sich hinter dir, aber die Stille der Abtei begleitet dich noch lange...

Beautiful abbey! It’s an absolute must visit. Take the tour of the abbey and the library. The guided tours are full of information and we did ours with kids and it was great. There’s so much to see for the kids that it doesn’t get boring. There’s plenty of parking and from there it’s a short walk to the abbey. There’s a hotel and enough restaurants for everyone’s taste and budget. There’s also a garden shop and an abbey shop with lots of art, books and trinkets. Like other reviews have said: it’s a bit touristy. However, the place is fairly large so when we went on a Sunday, it was packed but not unbearable. Plus there’s plenty of hiking around and a lake, so if it gets too much you can go take a...

Interesting as a stop on your way elsewhere but not worth it as a destination, especially as a foreign tourist. Parking, particularly for motorhomes, is extremely expensive. The lady in Tourist Information is lovely though, really helpful. The abbey itself is imposing & impressive, however most of it is off-limits & there isn't really that much to see. You can of course buy lots of 'stuff' in the many souvenir shops. It is not possible to walk around the outside of the abbey, which was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this as a destination,...

Beautiful abbey, with free entrance. You can’t take pictures inside. The surroundings are gorgeous and so peaceful!
 You can visit the greenhouse and also buy some local products, which look great. The parking nearby, by the lake, is also easy to find with Google Maps and it’s very cheap (1 euro and we stayed there for 1-1h30?). You can also take a hike around the lake, but at this time of the year (March) it is still very muddy and quiet. Apparently you can rent boats and do other activities during summer time. It’s a wonderful place and not far from Koblenz.
