Today I went over to the western central part of Germany and sent Sparky up.  The clip is pretty short, but a longer more vlog version is coming with more about the day. The abbey is called Mariawald and was established in the 1400s, but in Sept 2018 the monks left the abbey. . I hope you enjoy the clip.

Quite sad I think. Here in Slavic post-communist world we go through the renaissance of religiousness. Many worship places find new life and attention as cult and tourist sites. Hope authorities won't leave this place on your video without care.

Stunning footage

Beautiful place and very nice footage!
