Seligenstadt Abbey comprises historic buildings and gardens with a variety of surface finishes. The outdoor areas feature paved paths, cobblestones and gravel paths. There are steps and thresholds in several places on the abbey grounds. Not all steps have handrails. Furthermore, some of the historic buildings have thresholds of varying heights.

At present, there is no standardised signage to help visitors find their way around the monastery grounds. The existing steps do not have edge markings.
