Once used for medicinal herbs.
The herb garden at Lorch Monastery, located between the monastery church and the south ramparts, invites visitors to relax and linger. Fragrant herbs and flowers that the monks used to make tinctures and salves grow in the various beds. On a tour, visitors can learn exciting facts about the monks' traditions, as well as about the practical use of medicinal plants.
Streams in the Garden of the Senses.
Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. The Garden of the Senses tests all the senses.

Many places to sit, some with views of the Rems valley, complete the experience. Here, visitors can find peace and harmony.
For relaxing moments.
