Peace and quiet while painting and drawing at Niederaltaich Abbey

You will stay at the Landvolkshochschule Niederalteich educational center, right next to
Niederalteich Abbey, a Benedictine monastery on the Danube in Lower Bavaria, within the Diocese of Passau.
Nestled between two large green courtyards, framed by the venerable basilica and the Byzantine church. In absolute tranquility. Niederaltaich lies directly on the Danube, at the gateway to the Bavarian Forest between Deggendorf and Passau.

Look forward to dishes from our creative country-style kitchen.
Made primarily with regional, seasonal, and organically grown ingredients.
With a special appreciation for small-scale farming. When purchasing ingredients, we prioritize ecologically sound and fair-trade foods. Healthy, seasonal (whole-food) cuisine, freshly prepared daily! Featuring everything nature has to offer in every season.
We can accommodate all food intolerances for an additional fee.
Please indicate this when registering.

We paint and draw daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. (3:00 p.m.) to approximately 5:00 p.m. (6:00 p.m.).
Theory lessons and short practice sessions are an integral part of the daily schedule. Otherwise, you will receive individual guidance on all questions. The course is also suitable for beginners. Through a respectful exchange of experiences, you will discover how soothing and relaxing creative work is for both body and mind. All painting styles and materials are permitted. Please do not use oil paints, as they dry too slowly. The adjacent monastery and the beautiful surroundings offer plenty of opportunities to paint and draw outdoors at this spiritual place of power.
