Löwentempel Gästehaus

We had an amazing stay with such nice hosts, and the heavenly breakfast was a real treat. The rooms were simple, clean, tidy, and very functional. We also learned a lot about the "simple living, high thinking" philosophy taught by Krishna Consciousness, and feel blessed to have stayed a few nights. The hosts follow four basic principles: they refrain from violence, which also means they don't eat meat, as well as gambling, illicit sex, and drugs or stimulants, including coffee, cigarettes, and alcohol. I'd encourage guests to learn the basics of Krishna Consciousness and try following these principles during their stay. That means no meat or eggs in their area, no smoking, drinking, or drugs, no gambling, including online, and putting your sex life on hold for the nights you're there. It's a way to show respect to your hosts, and also a chance to experience happiness from a pure source and get a well-deserved break from your normal routine. If following these four rules seems too hard, like a joke, unimportant, or bogus to you, please find another place to stay in the area. Otherwise, give it a try. You may find you can smile without alcohol, feel energetic without coffee, feel lucky without gambling, and enjoy a heavenly meal without meat :)

We used to stay here regularly. Simmachalam gives you a chance to see the spiritual life and devotion of monks, so it's more than just a temple to pray in.

There's a real sense of peace and energy inside. It was lovely seeing devotees from other lands chanting the name of Lord Hare Rama Hare Krishna 🙏

A quiet, lovely temple in a small village, about two hours from Munich. I'll definitely go back.
