Maria Laach Abbey, situated at the lake which appeared as a result of a volcano eruption:
The church building dates back to the 11th century.
It's a fine example of Romanesque architecture:

The Laacher See is 51 m deep.
The abbey is very touristic and has several stores where you can buy books, a variety of natural (biological) products, pot plants and also different sorts of wine and liquor produced by the monks.
Oh it looks like you had a wonderful time amidst all that beauty! I would love to go there but I do not understand the language.
