Michaelsberg

Siegburg, Italy

Is an abbey that used to be the residence of Benedictine monks until 2011 who produced a liquor called ''Siegburger Abtei-Likör'' (since 1504) and a beer called ''Michel'' (since 2004). The Michel beer can also be tried in the brewery of Siegburg which is located almost at the end of the ''Holzgasse

'' in the pedestrian area. There is a small tourist tram (Michel-Express) starting off at Siegburg train station that takes people up to the abbey, especially recommended for elderly people as it is located on top of a mountain. It is also possible to walk up to the abbey as the mountain is only 118 metres high. The train runs every half an hour from 12 to 7 pm and round trip tickets for adults cost 3 Euro.
