| My day trip to Kloster Maulbronn |
|
 |
| The entryway to the monastery. I took this trip with a group of ladies from the NATO Spouses Club. |
 |
| This is a fountain seen across the square in the courtyard of the monastery. The building is part of the chapel where the monks used to worship. The monastery was built over 850 years ago. It is no longer a running monastery, but what remains is in very good condition. |
 |
| A restaurant that is within the kloster, or monastery. The group of ladies and I ate our lunch here. |
 |
| A view of a smaller, center garden courtyard from a surrounding covered walkway. |
 |
| A good look at the garden. |
 |
| In the previous picture, the curved section of the building is what houses this fountain. Unfortunately, it wasn't running because the weather was not yet warm enough. |
 |
| This vineyard was part of the monastary. The monks made their wine using the grapes they grew. The terraces make it possible to use mountainsides for growing things. |
