There is not much left but ruins and an orientation sign. It is not on the way to any mythical place. Still, spectacular location.

Gorgeous old ruins

Another must-see place if you are in O Courel. The castle only has a few walls left, but the enclave is beautiful for its views, both from the viewpoint and from the climb or castle along a steep side and from the top of it. Several hiking trails pass through and reach it.

A spectacular place to stop on the winding road, from which to observe the remains of the castle and admire the surrounding environment as far as the eye can see.

A little difficult to get to. Beautiful but better to go see it without rain because of the slippery terrain

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
