Beautiful and easily accessible castle ruins. Great views from here and the other nearby viewing points. Part of a wonderful vitality tour that we went on a few years ago. A nice little rainbow was visible at the end today. Only a few pictures were taken with my smartphone, as is often the case with an “adult” camera. Whether I will publish the pictures taken with it depends entirely on whether I forget it after editing or not... ?

Small, fine castle ruins. Parking possible at the hiking car park below the ruins. Information board and seating available. The facility is maintained on a voluntary basis. Sour, neat.

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.
