Cultural Experience in Garmisch-Partenkirchen: The Franciscan Monastery of St. Anton
During your vacation in Farchant, you should definitely pay a visit to this small pilgrimage monastery with a view of the Zugspitze.
This small chapel was built in 1704 by four Partenkirchen citizens in honor of their patron saint, Saint Anthony of Padua. The Franciscan Monastery of St. Anton in Garmisch-Partenkirchen will particularly impress you with its artistic ceiling fresco and three votive tablets.
You reach the church in St. Anton via the Philosophers' Trail, which starts directly in Farchant. On this leisurely hike, which is also great for the whole family, you'll follow in the footsteps of Nietzsche, Plato, and others in about 1 hour 45 minutes, while also enjoying a magnificent panoramic view. Since the Philosopher's Walk is cleared in winter, the pilgrimage church of St. Anton is also a great destination for enjoying the snowy mountain scenery.
