The road to the Haus der Andacht goes through a large though pleasant suburban housing estate, so it's quite a contrast when one arrives there to see the gardens and the calm building with a view of the mountains. The exterior isn't as pretty or ornate as some other Houses of Worship, but inside is so light: it glows with peace. The dome of a House of Worship has such an amazing effect on the feel and sound of the interior.
After spending a while inside, I went to the other building - reception, library/bookshop, and offices. People had arrived from various parts of the world (mainly Europe, of course) including a Czech couple who visit every two months. We were all offered tea and very good biscuits, and I acquired a few books.
