In the cosmos of the Abbey Library there are around 70,000 volumes. The entire stock of books comprises about 200,000 volumes. The 1,400 manuscripts are particularly treasured. And did you know that the library has secret doors? They are hard to find as their imitation of the surrounding bookspines is deceptively realistic. This preserves the homogeneous look of the space.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll only find them if you look. The hidden doors will be revealed to you on individual guided tours of the library. In addition to this cultural heritage, the abbey also offers a colourful and diverse collection of contemporary art. As well as Styrian artists such as Erwin Wurm and Werner Reiterer, there are around 170 predominantly Austrian artists.<\/p>\n<p>Around the abbey are peaceful outdoor areas including an idyllic pond and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stiftadmont.at\/en\/the-grounds\/herb-garden\">herb garden<\/a>, which was created in 1998. Anyone interested in medieval writings can go on search for traces of literature around the abbey. The <a href=\"https:\/\/literaturpfade.uni-graz.at\/de\/pfade\/admont\/\">Literature Trail<\/a> focuses on the Admonter Bartholom\u00e4usaus, a classic of German-language medical literature from the fifteenth century.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.steiermark.com\/en\"><em>Julia Einfalt<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valuable white bookshelves in the world&#8217;s largest monastic library: Admont Abbey invites you into the world of books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3702,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,43,42,12,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Old treasures - new works - Cycle trails in Austria<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Stiftsbibliothek der Welt, ein Gegenwartskunst-, ein Naturkunde- sowie ein Kunsthistorisches Museum und ein Stiftsgarten laden ins Ges\u00e4use ein.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Old treasures - new works - Cycle trails in Austria\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Stiftsbibliothek der Welt, ein Gegenwartskunst-, ein Naturkunde- sowie ein Kunsthistorisches Museum und ein Stiftsgarten laden ins Ges\u00e4use ein.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Cycle trails in Austria\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-06-20T11:15:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-04-06T13:24:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/Stift-Admont-Stiftsbibliothek-c-Steiermark-Tourismus-Ernst-Reichenfelser.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Vera Leitner\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Vera Leitner\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/\",\"name\":\"Old treasures - new works - Cycle trails in Austria\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/Stift-Admont-Stiftsbibliothek-c-Steiermark-Tourismus-Ernst-Reichenfelser.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-06-20T11:15:17+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-04-06T13:24:53+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/6f94bf39864ec00fbaf1d961704e122a\"},\"description\":\"Die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Stiftsbibliothek der Welt, ein Gegenwartskunst-, ein Naturkunde- sowie ein Kunsthistorisches Museum und ein Stiftsgarten laden ins Ges\u00e4use ein.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/Stift-Admont-Stiftsbibliothek-c-Steiermark-Tourismus-Ernst-Reichenfelser.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/Stift-Admont-Stiftsbibliothek-c-Steiermark-Tourismus-Ernst-Reichenfelser.jpg\",\"width\":1500,\"height\":1000},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/admont-abbey\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Startseite\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.radtouren.at\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Old treasures &#8211;
