BASILICA OF ST BENEDICT

BENEDIKTBEUERN

GERMANY

The old Benedictine monastery under the highest parts of Bavarian Alps has been used by Salesians since 1930s.

"Walk with your feet on the earth; but in your heart, be in heaven.”

- St John Bosco

My first visit was a bright early summer day, the Pentecost was celebrated with ringing bells and great parade. The second visit was more intimate but even more beautiful. It was a winter day, we crossed the high Alps and appreciated a quick stop here. The Alps and the Zugspitze view are the two things I always remember when I hear Benediktbeuern.
