To get there, it can be reached well from the motorway exit in Brixen / Val Gardena, you can see it well. Very nice seen from the outside, it deserves a whole uphill walk, poles are handy. The nuns and priests by now very experienced are sometimes seen clinging to the handrail that go down and up from that slightly tiring slope

the monastery has been enthroned imposing over Klausen for centuries. But you should be able to walk well, as you cannot drive up by car. Both churches can be visited during the day free of charge, as can part of the complex. Here you have a feeling of calm and a fantastic panoramic view. The way from the picturesque downtown of Chiusa is worth it.

The ascent to the monastery is rewarded by the view of the valley and the mountains that crown it. The single nave of considerable size is beautiful, all frescoed with perspective effects.

Breathtaking panorama. Beautiful flower gardens. Monastery carved into the rock. A must see. There is no entrance fee, reachable only on foot about 25-30 minutes above Chiusa. Hiking shoes recommended (not suitable for strollers)

WALKING DIRECTIONS to the abbey. on Google maps are NOT CORRECT. The stairways leading up to the abbey is hidden away in town near the fountain in the square. Paste this location in the search box for Google maps .... Salita Sabiona, 11, 39043 Chiusa BZ, Italy....but dont follow Google maps directions if you are headed north because it will direct you to walk on the main road and there are parts of the road without sidewalks. Enter the main part of old town and head to the fountain. From there you can find the entrance to the stairway. There is a Jesus on the cross above the stone archway. The abbey is well worth the climb If you're doing it in the summer I would recommend either early morning or late afternoon when it's not so hot. It's a steep climb about 400 feet up. When you get to the top there are panoramic views of the city. Follow the wall around the back of the Abbey and you can enter the churches. Through a tunnel passageway there is another route that takes you around the other side of the mountains and back to the arched entrance
