Abusina, Neustadt an der Donau, Germany

Abusina or Abusena was a Roman castra (military outpost), and later of town, of the Roman Province of Raetia.

It was at Eining near Abensberg, on the Upper German- Raetian Limes , which at this point was the Danube River. Abusina stood near to the eastern termination of the high road which ran from the Roman military station Vindonissa on the Aar to the Danube.

In the 2nd century the fort was occupied by the Cohors IV Tungrorum with about 1,000 men. By the later Roman Empire, archaeology and the Notitia Dignitatum suggest the site was occupied by Cohors III Brittonum with only 50 men.

Nice place to visit if interested in Roman history. Not too much to see but lots to read. If you're passing through, it's worth a stop.

The view is nice and you learn a lot of things (in Deutch). You can walk there for the whole place and it has a parking lot. It's not for people who wants to make grill or to have fun. It's a historical landscape

If you have some interested in Roman history, it is amazing to contemplate one of its forts. Time has destroyed almost everything, but from the top built there you can have an idea of the size and steucte built in the old times.

Amazing and Real peace of history … "History to touch for young and old" is usually in August and the motto in the former border fort Abusina in Bad Goegging. At Bavaria's largest Roman festival, visitors can experience the everyday life of Rome as they did 2000 years ago.

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.
