Du stehst vor den schweren Holztüren der Abteikirche. Ein leiser Druck auf den eisernen Griff, und die Tür öffnet sich mit einem sanften Knarren. Schon beim ersten Schritt ins Innere umfängt dich eine Stille, die so tief ist, dass sie fast körperlich spürbar wird. Die Luft ist kühl und trägt den Hauch von Stein, Weihrauch und Kerzenwachs.

Vor dir erstreckt sich das Hauptschiff, ein langer, hoher Raum, der von mächtigen Säulen und Rundbögen getragen wird. Deine Schritte hallen leise auf dem Steinboden wider, als du langsam weiter nach vorne gehst. Das Licht fällt gedämpft durch die schmalen Fenster und malt sanfte Muster auf den Boden. Die Wände sind schlicht, fast karg, und doch strahlen sie eine würdevolle Schönheit aus.

Du blickst nach oben, wo das Gewölbe wie ein schützender Himmel über dir wölbt. Die Steine scheinen Geschichten zu erzählen – von Gebeten, die hier seit Jahrhunderten gesprochen wurden, von Gesängen, die in diesen Mauern widerhallten. Ein leiser Schauer läuft dir über den Rücken, als du spürst, 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, geschmückt mit Kerzen, deren Flackern im Halbdunkel tanzt. Ein paar Holzbänke stehen in Reihen, als warten sie auf die Mönche, die hier bald zum Gebet zusammenkommen werden. Du spürst die Heiligkeit dieses Ortes, als würdest 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 Altären und kunstvollen Details. In einer Kapelle auf der linken Seite siehst du ein farbiges Glasfenster, durch das das Sonnenlicht bunt auf den Boden fällt. Die Farben scheinen zu leben, als würden sie dir etwas erzählen wollen. Du bleibst einen Moment stehen, legst die Hand auf den kalten Stein und spürst die Ruhe, die von diesem Ort ausgeht.

Die Abtei Maria Laach ist mehr als ein Gebäude aus Stein. Sie ist ein Ort, der die Seele berührt, ein Ort, an dem die Zeit stillzustehen scheint und die Ewigkeit greifbar wird. Langsam gehst du zurück zum westlichen Eingang, aber das Gefühl der Ruhe und Heiligkeit bleibt in dir, als würdest du ein Stück dieses besonderen Ortes mitnehmen.

Die Tür 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,...

Don’t miss hiking around this active volcano in Germany! 🇩🇪🙌 🌋 Hiking around the active volcanic lake called ‘Laacher See’ is an amazing easy hike as the trail is not only wide and flat the whole way, you’ll also be able to see the activity of the lake by watching the bubbles rise along the shoreline. Apart from hiking around the entire gorgeous lake, you will also be hiking through beautiful foresty parts. Highly recommend taking a small little detour to see the majestic Maria Laach Abbey by the lake. You will see it by hiking around the lake, but standing right in front of it and exploring the grounds is something else. You are also allowed to swim in the lake or take a paddle board to explore the volcanic lake a little bit closer. How amazing is this place? 🤩 📍Laacher See Loop -8.4 km loop -easy hike -2 hours The Laacher See Lake is very popular, so make sure to hike in the off-season (any time but summer) or early in the mornings/later in the day! If you don’t mind hiking along other people, then you can go at any time. 📍🗺️You can find this hike and 150+ other beautiful must-do hikes on our hiking map for Germany! 🇩🇪 📍🗺️If you’re more interested in just seeing the place itself, we recommend downloading our ‘Must-See Places in Germany’ map where you will find hundreds of amazing places to visit all around Germany! 🇩🇪 #visitgermany #exploregermany #hikinggermany #volcanohike #germanytravel #germanytrip #hikingadventures
