The majority is located in the Austrian part of the Bohemian Forest and came into the abbey’s possession in several stages. The forests of Schlägl Abbey have been sustainably managed since the mid-1960s and converted into permanent forests: By harvesting individual large trees, the even-aged forests are transformed into selection forests. But what does all this mean? And how did the abbey come to own its forests? And what has changed since the abbey’s founding in the 13th century? Immerse yourself in the abbey’s green history—the tour takes you on a vivid journey through various parts of the abbey’s forests: from the Bavarian floodplain to the Plöckenstein. A leisurely lunch at the Gasthaus zum Überleben rounds out the tour. For those who particularly enjoy being active, there’s the option to hike part of the route under the guidance of H. Ewald Nathanael! **Dates:** 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. each day Friday, April 30, 2027 Friday, May 21, 2027 Friday, August 13, 2027 **Guides:** Brother Ewald Nathanael and Donhoffer O.Praem. **Meeting place:** Schlägl Abbey Seminar Center **Cost:** €40 [ Contact ](#ttgCollapseKontakt) ---------------------------------- **Stift Schlägl** Schlägl 1, 4160 Aigen-Schlägl Phone[+43 7281 8801](tel:+4372818801) E-Mail[zv@stift-schlaegl.at](#mailto) Web[www.stiftschlaeglerleben.at/](https://www.stiftschlaeglerleben.at/) --- **We speak the following languages** German [ Event date(s) ](#ttgCollapseVeranstaltungstermine) ------------------------------------------------------ [ Event location ](#ttgCollapseVeranstaltungsorte) ---------------------------------------------------- **Haus der Ruhe - Stift Schlägl** Schlägl 1, 4160 Aigen-Schlägl Phone [+43 7281 8801-400](tel:+4372818801400) E-Mail Web [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Prices ](#ttgCollapsePreise) -------------------------------- - Price on request [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - All weather - Suitable for teenagers - Suitable for seniors - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
