Rest your soul

Engelberg Abbey was founded in the year 1120, which means that it has been around for a lmost 900 years. The Benedic tine abbey has a lways shaped the v illage’s histor y, including its development into a tourist destination, and has a deeply spiritua l and hea lthf u l aura. Taking time out in a quiet, restf u l ab- bey can work wonders for body and sou l, especia lly for people who usua lly live life in the fast lane. Guests in Engelberg Abbey can stay in one of 17 modern, well-ap- pointed rooms and take this oppor tunity to gently un- wind and recharge their bat teries. They are more than welcome to join in with the monks’ simple daily ritu- a ls but are under no obligation. Thanks to its centra l location, the Abbey is the idea l base for taking advan- tage of a wide range of leisure and cu ltura l ac tiv ities.
