Spent a few hours in and around the Archabbey. After parking we took an elevator, the ladies at the desk greeted us very friendly - the toilets here were clean and modern, as the whole entrance area - and walked over the ‘green bridge’ to the abbey. We took another elevator and enjoyed the spectacular view over the whole region and the façade of the abbey with it’s beautiful historical mosaic. I could had spent hours there contemplating the history and actuality of this place. Inside the abbey church there’s many things to see, from the crypt to the high altar, the art and even the modern choir stalls were nicely made, which I can’t often say of modern ecclesiastical furniture. The library is stunning ! The audio guide was easy to follow and provided more informations if requested. Our visit was completed with an invitation from the Archabbot emeritus to have lunch with the monks in the refectory and coffee in his private cell, a great surprise ! The Fathers were all very kind, I was sat next to an older monk who excused himself for not speaking any other language than Hungarian but made sure I felt at home and I had everything I needed - as everywhere in the Benedictine world. I would certainly recommend coming here!

This is a place we'd never heard of before stumbling upon it, and were glad we did. It's a town with a long history, with a historic centre being testament to that. It's a lovely area to wander around and soak up history, at the confluence of 2 small rivers, offshoots of the Danube. Tourists seem to be starting to trickle in but it feels far less commercial than some other towns in the region. We visited in the summer when it was nice to also sit out and eat or have a coffee. We're also just been this month before Christmas and enjoyed the Christmas markets around the town, including the open air ice rink by the river. There were a number of nice touches, such as faux reindeer and Santa's sleigh for the kids to sit on, and free games for the kids to play in the main square. There's a big ferris wheel by the river too though it was slightly pricey for the whole family so we enjoyed it from the bottom.

I have not visited this place since my childhood, and it really came as a suprise to see how well the reconstruction and re-themed/educational side has been strengthened. After a nice stroll/climb on the path on the edge of the cliffs/plateau and catch a full sight on the nearby area, we climbed down the staircase, into the interior parts of the mine. The sizes of the carved stones are amazing. At first we were suprised by the sharks, but quickly realized how well the old sea concept fitted int othe concept. Sound effects were also great. The short film they showed quickly summarized how the mine generated through millions of years, how uncovering then mining of this limestone happened, and which famous buildings' construction used these stones. Staff wasa friendly, told us the details: expected timing on the path, short films times in the mine, toilet facility, etc. Near the entrance we had ice-cream. Inside the mine it is cold.
