Sorli Castle is a ruined castle that dates back to the 12th century. It is located in the Sorli hamlet near Garbagna in the municipality of Borghetto di Borbera, in the province of Alessandria, at a height of 661 meters.

Absolutely fascinating place half an hour by foot from the road. Not suitable for children due to the presence of precipices. A few more explanatory signs would not hurt, but with the resources of a small municipality it is already a lot that there are a couple of them ...

You can get there with a fairly simple and well-marked path, which from the village crosses a small wood (wonderful in autumn). Today the very high fog made it impossible to see the valley below, but the ruins of the castle are really impressive.

Beautiful viewpoint in the woods between the Val Borbera and the Tortona hills

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.
