Explore the region & enjoy your Spare -Time

By bike, on horseback or by foot. Along small rivers. Through meadows, forests and scenery like postcard motives. Step by step a bit higher. Over the treetops. To the Pfauenfelsen. On top of the "Prechtaler Schanze". Pure astonishment in every direction. Looking almost to the tri-border region Basel-Freiburg-Strassbourg. Have a nap in the moss. Warm bark. Nice-smelling herbs. Maybe a day-trip to the Bodensee tomorrow? Discover, taste, feel and enjoy the unforgettable diversity in its most natural form.

On one of many hiking trails, have a meal in a regional restaurant or visit a nearby festival.
In the Black Forest, there is always something to explore.

In the process of secularization it came to an abrupt end in 1827. The monastery buildings were partly rebuild as private flats. The elder part of the prelate's house became the presbytery, the more recent part had been home of the major and the tourist information for a long time. Nowadays, it is the church museum of St. Märgen and is still a perishing place of pilgrimage – the first one in the archdiocese.
