For an easy hike across some of the nicer farmland north of Frankfurt, there is the Monastery of Ilbenstadt. The monastery complex is mostly preserved and features a remarkable late Staufen Romanesque church and a Rococo gatehouse, hinting at the centuries of prosperity enjoyed by the monks here. Behind the monastery is a nicely preserved agricultural complex from the 19th century.

How to Get Here:

• The hike starts at the station in Nieder-Wöllstadt and ends in the town of Assenheim, both are commuter districts of Frankfurt.
