An unexpectedly pleasant visit to the Abbey, its museums and church. There were only two of us on Friday morning. The ticket lady was very helpful and patient with our heavily accented German. I strongly recommend to have an audio guide. It’s available both in English and German. For bargain lovers - you must visit the historic medical books museum. It’s free of charge. Its small collection has a book with the illustrations from Durer.

We visited the former Benedictine monastery, with cloister, crypt and the biggest nave in Switzerland. Alongside the fascinating monastery, we viewed the collection by Caspar Wolf, Switzerland’s most prominent painter of Alpine landscapes.
