Tilbeck Convent
The largest and at the same time best known part of the Stift Tilbeck are the living accommodations and the workshops in the community Havixbeck. Women (and meanwhile also a few men) with slight to severe mental disabilities live here in a village-like atmosphere in large buildings and smaller family homes together. The two 'old' buildings, 'Gertrud' and 'Hildegard', as well as the chapel and the water tower generate a post-romantic atmosphere.
The Stift Tilbeck is also, for example, a popular destination for cyclists. Situated amidst the Baumberge, it offers a very pretty café, an interesting ambiance and even a small zoo; populated by goats, birds and even Indian runner ducks.
Surpa-regional known is the Tilbecker Barefoot Walk, which offers on circa 3 kilometres a varied landscape and of course you can walk barefoot. Different surfaces turn this walk into a special experience.
