Crunchy Printen (their secret lies in small pieces of rock candy) are also recommended as hiking snacks, for example, as they are nutritious and spicy and do not break. Wheat flour, Printen syrup, rock candy, sugar, spices, candied lemon peel and candied orange peel are the ingredients.

According to an old Latin verse, the Zisterzienser preferred valleys, the Benedictines mountains, the Franciscans small towns and the Jesuits large towns for their monasteries: "Bernhardus valles, montes Benedictus amabat, / oppida Franciscus, magnas Ignatius urbes". The Benedictine monks of Königsmünster Abbey have certainly kept to this motto, as their monastery is enthroned high above the Sauerland town of Meschede. From a bird's eye view, you can see that it is a real small monastery town: the grammar school and the monastery buildings in the foreground, flanked by the House of Silence and the "Oasis", and further back the workshops with a forge, carpentry and agriculture. All of this is embedded in a park-like garden. Meals for monks and guests are provided by the monastery bakery under the direction of Father Werner, who has also dedicated himself to the production of fine baked goods.
