Great view from the top of the hill. Informative information signs about the church ruins. The hike up is about 20 or so minutes. There are also very old graves inside the ruins. The hike up is a bit steep but it gets easier the higher you go! Really enjoyed it! Could use a picnic table.
If you're hiking in the vicinity I recommend a visit to those ruins of an abbey. It's better preserved then the castle at Karlsberg and comparable to the one in Homburg. But when else do you get the chance to visit a church, that is partly nature? And there's a lot more to see in the forest nearby. So perfect for a nice day trip. Enjoy!
This is a wonderful place to visit. To get to the ruins of the Abby one has to walk up a hill. There are different routes leading to it. If one wants to get there more quickly and have a more rigorous hiking experience there is a shorter trail which is also steeper. The monastery Wörschweiler (Verneri-Villerium) was founded in 1131 as a Benedictine monastery by Count Friedrich I of Saarwerden at the site of an ancient Roman complex the \Gloria Romanorum\. In 1171it became a Cistercian monastery and put under the oversight of the monastery of Villers-Bettnach in Lorraine. Thus it belonged to the primary abbey of Morimond. In 1614, it was destroyed in a fire as a result of an accident while trying to remove the overgrown grass and get rid of vernom. It is told that everyone was drank and therefore effective efforts to contain the fire were rather limited. Today one can walk on the grounds of the heavily destroyed Abby and fathom it's former extension and beauty. The views over the valley are fantastic and it is certainly worth to walk up the hill and enjoy the beauty of this place.
Ciekawe miejsce, idealne na niedzielny spacer, czy zjedzenie drobnego poczęstunku. Lepiej mieć ze sobą jakiś napój, bo trzeba troszkę podejść lasem pod górkę( ok 10minut), ale warto. Z tego że parkingu nie ma , trzeba zostawić gdzieś w miasteczku, myśmy zostawili na parkingu pod restauracją limoncello, ale jest on malutki na ok 5/6 aut, z wymaganą tabliczką na czas ;)
