p14.jpg Haus der Begegnung, a former monastery, was remodeled and modernized in 1999 with beautiful double rooms and private baths.  Marble hallways, extended ceilings and distant views across the fields to the Hungarian border make this a delightfully satisfying place to live. Its location near the Bergkirche is another plus. Elevator, room phones, hairdryer, radio, and internet access.
