Beautiful, not really old bridge over a picturesque little gorge where you can wade in the mountain stream, swim or simply climb over the stones. Nice for children too. It's best to take something to read and or a small picnic with you and spend some time there. Just please don't leave any dirt lying around - unfortunately there is some rubbish in the idyll.

There used to be a wooden bridge in this place, which (according to the inhabitants, collapsed under the weight of a bullock cart) The stone bridge was built in 1956.

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.
