Altovadum app for iPhone and iPad

We warmly invite you to tour Vyšší Brod Cistercian Abbey which delights thousands of guests every year! Regardless of the language in which the tour is conducted by the living guide, the ALTOVADUM app means that guests may now listen to the commentary to the tour routes in Czech, English or German.
The descriptive texts, enhanced by the sound of the Vyšší Brod organ in background, were recorded by professional speakers, Petr Kronika, Eoghan O´Suilleabhain and Gernot Ecker.
Learn about our Living Tradition, download the app and visit Vyšší Brod Monastery!

During the tour, please make sure your earphones remain plugged in at all times!
