Stuben Monastery Ruins

Bremm, Germany

Opposite Bremm on a peninsula is the former Stuben Monastery with its impressive church ruins. The complex was founded at the beginning of the 12th century by the Augustinian nuns of the Springiersbach Abbey.

Today, only the outer walls remain, except for the west wall. The monastery is mainly used for open-air events in summer. The view of the ruins from Calmont is particularly impressive.

Nice ruins. Was here in December/January 2021/2022 and it was closed (can't go inside the ruins) so don't know if it's open normally or not but it looks nice and the path to go there is either doable by car, foot or bike. Last 200m or so is a dirt road so not advisable by car or city bike (mountain bike would be fine I think). Would definitely go there after hiking the Calmont route or visiting Bremm/Eller.

The ruin itself does not provide a lot. Just by being there it adds to the greatness of the big Mosel bend

It is bit difficult to enter the monastery, as there is an iron fence in the gates. It is possible for moderately athletic people to climb over the fence. In the summer, lizards can be spotted in large numbers behind the main ruins. Nice for a walk.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
