Absolutely grand!! The chap who let me in was super informative, and gave me loads of history before actually turning on the mill and letting me see firsthand how it works. Absolutely wonderful, and highly recommended.

Visited this lovely little water mill today, Mike was very knowledgeable and explained the history very well including the origin of certain phrases. Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

Very informative talk from staff member. Started the mill up for us and went into great detail about the position of the mill, it's importance in the community and how it all worked. Very interesting and definitely worth s visit. And as a bonus we got some cooking apples and nadexa lovely eve's pudding that evening.

Lovely little mill. The place was so tranquil and peaceful. So quiet, We could hear the birds singing the whole time. Lots of little paths to have a wonder by the river. The mill itself had an interesting history and the volunteer (regrettably cannot recall his name), responsible for the tour, was very friendly and accommodating. Fairly priced coffee too which just happened to be delicious.

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.
