From the Roggenbach parking lot, walk about 800 meters along the edge of the forest to the first castle ruins. The path up is very narrow and overgrown. Nevertheless, this castle ruin is worth seeing, the second ruin only has a tower, not accessible and hard to get through because everything is overgrown...., about 1.3 km from ruin one.

Beautiful castle ruins near Bonndorf. Perfect for a hike from Wittlekofen down into the valley. On nice days, however, the motorbikes are incredibly loud. Recovery is therefore only possible to a limited extent.

Beautiful castle ruins from the 12th century easy to reach on foot

Was a little disappointed. The path was very difficult, uneven and overgrown. Was a challenge.

Unfortunately, we were only able to visit one of the ruins of the Roggenbach Castles (Roggenbach Castle) because the paths to the other were closed. The access road was extremely overgrown when we visited and in some places the path had slipped a bit. We had actually expected a somewhat larger ruin. It wasn't a comfortable place to rest either.

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.
