Charming little collection of cars and bikes! Understand this is a private collection of cars through the ages. Nothing out of this world but definitely a great stop off place. Super collection of model vehicles too! Easy to let the kids run up and down the lanes, there is also a fire engine and collection of toy ride on vehicles. One for young enthusiasts.

Fantastic. Perfect gift for men! Not hot at all in mid September.

The museum is very interesting but the only reason for the 4 star is just how boiling hot it was inside!

Anyone with even a paving interest in cars will enjoy this! If you're over thirty you can pass a good hour looking for cars 'born' in the same year as you (1965 for me) whilst being amazed at the range and quality of this collection; which I think is privately owned. Entry included in the Reims/Epernay Pass

Pros: parking for free, English speaking staff, cheap, wc available, small shop, 1 big hall with old cars and 1 smaller room with car-toys, interesting for kids especially for boys... Cons: a little bit cold inside, only a few vehicle brands, no English notes

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.
