Klosterpark

Klosterpark is a public green space in Schortens set within a protected landscape area that features ancient trees, including a thousand-year-old yew. The grounds have walking paths and resting areas distributed across the wooded terrain.

The site was once home to a Benedictine monastery founded in 785. A defense tower built from large granite blocks was added in 1323 and still stands today.

The grounds serve as a learning space where kindergartens and schools run environmental education activities throughout the year. Visitors can see how nature is used for teaching purposes in this setting.

The park can be reached by bus 219 from Schortens-Heidmühle station or by car via the B210 and Plaggestraße roads to Klosterweg. The grounds are relatively flat with well-developed paths, making it accessible for most visitors.

The park can be explored using the Actionbound app, which guides visitors with interactive puzzles about its features and history. This digital component transforms the visit into an engaging discovery experience.
