A small historical monument "Château de Niederstinzel" left to its sad fate, surrounded by a river and an organic farm. Very nice view in the distance, parcontre path inaccessible for the disabled, strollers or others. The only way to get there is on foot and a few jumps to pass because there are trenches around. Otherwise I advise you not to approach it because of the risk of falling rocks. Considering his condition. A question bothers me, where are the debris that fell??? No trace...

It's not worth going especially for it. Passing by, you can look in, grabbing a couple of sandwiches. Nature and good view guaranteed!

I have known this castle for a very long time and I find it a pity that no association takes care of this historic work. And for others there are thousands of euros (notre dames) thank you.

Place in the countryside, abandoned, too bad because a few years ago people participated in the restoration ....

Could not get to castle due to an electric fence. Couldn't see a way to visit a bit disappointing.

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.
