The Herbal Tour in the Reisach Monastery Garden opens on June 1, 2026, in Oberaudorf, providing insights behind the monastery walls and into a world of plants with tradition. Lasting about 1.5 hours, the excursion takes visitors through the historic monastery garden of Kloster Reisach, combining nature experiences, local history, and ancient knowledge of monastic medicine.
A Garden that Tells History
Entering the monastery garden offers a quiet discovery experience amid herb beds, baroque monastery architecture, and the unique atmosphere of a place that has shaped the local landscape since the 18th century. The tour highlights the individual plants in the garden and demonstrates how closely medicinal herbs, monastic knowledge, and regional culture are intertwined.
Ancient Herbal Knowledge Rediscovered

Phytotherapists Steffi Albanus and Kathi Wildgruber convey professional knowledge in an understandable and vivid way. This transforms the city tour in the green into a cultural enrichment with practical relevance to today's well-being.
