Wittichen Abbey is a former Poor Clares convent tucked into a narrow side valley of the Kleine Kinzig, about 8 kilometres north of Schiltach near the village of Schenkenzell. The setting is extremely quiet — a small whitewashed church, a handful of monastic buildings, and old farmland enclosed by forest on all sides.
The abbey was founded in 1324 and dissolved during the secularisation of 1806. Some of the original medieval fabric survives, including the church interior. Today the site is managed as a small memorial and cultural centre. It is reached by a pleasant drive or cycle through the Kleine Kinzig valley, and the road itself is worth the trip even if the abbey is closed.
