EXCURSIONS:
Lectures are offered every morning with the afternoons free for relaxing, reading, discussions and excursions. There is a beautiful modern swimming pool under the shadow of St. Walburga's monastery. There will also be cultural excursions. The first day will include a walking tour of beautiful Eichstätt, once ruled by Prince Bishops. There will also be a tour of St. Walburga's and attendance at services as the fifty nuns sing Vespers from behind the cloister screen. Our first Sunday in Bavaria, there will be a walking tour of old Munich after a choral mass in the magnificent Baroque Jesuit Church of St. Michael. One evening in Eichstätt, participants can attend the local folk dance club as the towns people dress in traditional dress and slap and stomp their way through folk dances. There will also be an excursion to Josef Ratzinger's birthplace, Marktl am Inn, and a visit to the nearby pilgrims' shrine of Altöting. And finally there will be a quiet cruise down the Danube River to the Benedictine Abbey of Weltenburg, with the oldest monastery brewery in the world. At the Abbey there will be an opportunity for hiking and enjoying a repast with the monastic brew in the beer garden.
