Vacation in The
Black Forest
is really a unique experience. Hardly any other region in Germany offers such a variety of ways to enjoy nature, sports
and culture.
The Black Forest offers wide range of attractions
for all tastes: lakes, waterfalls, museums, churches
and chapels as the monastery of St. Märgen, the Cathedral of St. Blaise, or the
baroque church of St. Peter.
The idyllic monastery village of St. Peter is a nationally recognized health resort, located in the middle
of the southern Black Forest. With its 1 000 year history, St. Peter is one of the most popular tourist spots in the region.
In St. Peter we find almost everything that makes our vacation
unforgettable: Beautiful hiking trails, stunning panoramic
views and delicious cuisine.
The village is a favorite
destination for international and domestic tourists. Its cozy atmosphere offers
a variety of colorful buildings and fabulous landscapes.
The history of the parish of
St. Peter is closely linked to its former monastery. Here over 700 years ago,
monks developed the place as a cultural and political center.
The former monastery with Baroque church, Rococo library and Fürstensaal,
is considered as one of the most beautiful historical cathedrals
in southern Germany.
The foundation of
the Benedictine monastery of St. Peter dates back to the year 1093. The
founder was Bertold II of the House of Zähringen.
Today here are the tombs of
the royal Zähringen family members.
The splendor of the parish church and the
impressive high altar, decorated with gilded statues of the Dukes of Zähringen
on the pilasters.
Definitely, St Peter and its
monastery represent
the most glorious side of The Black Forest, which impressively reflects
the interplay between monastic culture and the green landscapes.
