Maulbronn Monastery - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The UNESCO World Heritage site of Maulbrunn Monastery is a large monastic complex in south-western Germany, beautifully well-preserved since the Middle Ages. It's apparently one of the most complex monasteries north of the Alps, and it's certainly an impressive sight with lots of timber-framed buildings, Romanesque chapels, and one of the first Gothic buildings in all of Germany.

Reichenau Island is an island in Lake Constance in southern Germany.
It lies almost due west of the city of Konstanz, between the Gnadensee and the Untersee, two parts of Lake Constance.
With a total land surface of 4.3 square kilometres and a circumference of 11 kilometres, the island is 4.5 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide at its greatest extent.
The highest point, the Hochwart, stands some 43 metres above the lake surface and 438.7 metres above mean sea level.
Reichenau is connected to the mainland by a causeway, completed in 1838, which is intersected between the ruins of Schopflen Castle and the eastern end of Reichenau Island by a 10-metre-wide and 95-metre long waterway, the Bruckgraben.
A low road bridge allows the passage of ordinary boats but not of sailing-boats.
The island was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000 because of its monastery, the Abbey of Reichenau.
The Abbey stood along a main north–south highway between Germany and Italy, where the lake passage eased the arduous route.
The Abbey of Reichenau housed a school, and a scriptorium and artists' workshop, that has a claim to having been the largest and artistically most influential centre for producing lavishly illuminated manuscripts in Europe during the late 10th and early 11th centuries, often known as the Reichenau School.
The abbey's Münster (minster church) is dedicated to the Virgin and Saint Mark.
Two further churches were built on the island consecrated to Saint George and to Saints Peter and Paul.
The famous artworks of Reichenau include (in the church of St George) the Ottonian murals of miracles of Christ, unique survivals from the 10th century.
The abbey's bailiff was housed in a two-storey stone building to which two more storeys of timber framing were added in the 14th century, one of the oldest timber-frame buildings in south Germany.
Among the Abbey's far-flung landholdings was Reichenau, a village on the upper Rhine in the municipality of Tamins in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, named for the Abbey.
Today the island is also famous for its vegetable farms.
The Wollmatinger Ried next to the island is a large nature preserve, a wetland area of reeds which is used by many birds as a stopover during their annual migration.
