The Eberbach Monastery is indeed very special. I too was fascinated with the dormitory. Lucky you to have found such a lovely family run hotel, so late in the night and the breakfast sure sounds yummy.

A very interesting page about another lovely little German town.

What an amazing place! I love especially the monk’s dormitory! I must visit it as I have already visited Sacra San Michele, the other place that inspired Eco for Name of the Rose (my Avigliana page)

An interesting place with a fascinating history. I did see the Sean Connery film, but I guess I wasn't paying too much attention to the monastery when I watched it.

Joan, lovely little page about this interesting place. I must admit that I have neither heard of Kloster Eberbach nor of Kiedrich before and I guess they are only about 200 km away from where I live.

A bottle of rose; a bottle of red; which one will I have; with jam on my bread?

Your fine comprehensive tips remind me that I haven't been to Kloster Eberbach for many years, even though I live in the region. We used to go to concerts there sometimes; must go again.

So many interesting info on your Kiedrich pages. I have not been to this part of Germany but may consider visiting on my second trip to this country.

Great page! I have not visited this place (yet), but I have seen the movie - and it is a fantastic movie, too! Thanks for a fine page, Joan!
