Venue
The retreat venue is the "Kloster Steinfeld Gästehaus". Address: Hermann-Josef-Straße 4, D-53925 Kall.
Surrounded by the greenery of the northern Eifel, the two white towers of Steinfeld Basilica rise up behind the wrought-iron gate of the monastery gate. The historical beginnings of Steinfeld Monastery go back more than 1000 years, and the complex is considered one of the best-preserved monastic monuments in the Rhineland.
The monastery is both a place to slow down and a meeting place. In the heart of the Northern Eifel, it is the starting point for a variety of excursions to castles and palaces, leisure facilities and museums in the surrounding area. Kloster Steinfeld is a stage destination on the Eifelsteig premium hiking trail.
Transport
Due to the floods in 2021, the use of public transport is limited, takes a very long time and is not recommended.
For this reason, a bus transfer has been organized from HISKP to the monastery, the use of which is strongly recommended for all traveling from Bonn.
Those who still wish to travel from Bonn by car can do so, but at their own expense. Participants from Jülich or Mühlheim may either come to Bonn first, or travel to Kloster Steinfeld directly. Please indicate during registration in case you will not make use of the bus transfer service.
