Very good cake, very nice people and great view, no entrance fee. Close to a small playground. Definitely recommend it

Not really what one expects of a Burg. More like a Youth Hostel in the middle of a peacefull forest. Hardly anything of a Burg left. More like a viewing platform. .

Very nice place to visit. Parking is 5 min away from it. There is a volley ball field and a rope slide and bbq by the parking. There is a small coffee place in the castle where they sell cake, coffee and beer.

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.
