A study trip full of history, architecture, and impressive moments
On Thursday, April 23, 2026, a special day trip to West Bohemia starts at the Maria-Seltmann-Haus in Weiden. The study trip leads to two cultural historical highlights: Becov Castle with the Maurus Shrine and the Tepl Monastery. Participants can look forward to a full day between medieval architecture, monastic tranquility, and expert guidance.
Experience West Bohemia's cultural heritage up close
Even the route promises a rich experience for those who want to not only read history but see and feel it. Becov Castle impresses with its location on a high rock above the Teplá valley and combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles in a rare architectural tension. Especially valuable: the Romanesque Maurus Shrine, which has been publicly displayed since 2002.
Tepl Monastery as a quiet contrast
After lunch, we continue to the Premonstratensian Monastery of Tepl. The complex dates back to the 12th century and still shows traces of destruction, reconstruction, and Baroque renewal. The Romanesque-Gothic hall church, the Baroque prelate house, and the Neo-Baroque library tell of centuries of religious, cultural, and architectural development.
Organized for relaxed travel and clear processes
Departure is at 08:00 at the Maria-Seltmann-Haus, with an option to join at the Waldlust bus stop at 08:05. The price of 61 euros includes bus travel, guiding, entrance fees, and tours. Rainer Christoph and Jitka Sinderalova will provide the travel guidance. Those who wish to participate should pay by April 9 at the latest to secure a spot for this carefully planned day program.
Who will particularly benefit from the trip
This study trip is aimed at culturally interested seniors, history enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a quiet, content-rich excursion format with clear organization. The Maria-Seltmann-Haus serves as a meeting point and educational institution for a program concept that combines encounters, knowledge, and movement.
Conclusion: The day trip to Becov and Tepl connects impressive architectural history, reliable organization, and a relaxed travel experience. Anyone wanting to discover West Bohemia with expert guidance will experience a trip with depth and atmosphere.
