Califfoto's Fotothing

During our trip to Germany, our hosts brought us got to Eberbach Monastery at around 1/2 hour away from Frankfurt. This monastry is one of the first abbeys of Cistercian Order, which have been founded by one of the most important and famous Cistercians - Bernhard of Clairvaux in the Germany of 12th century. The abbey's vineyards are the biggest wine-gowing estate of Germany. During our VIP tour we got to appreciate the Sparkling wine in one of the cellars. The abbey and the buildings provide a certain aura of quietness and contemplation. And - last but not least - it was setting for the famous movie The Name of the Rose with Sean Connery (1986).
