A pretty pretty place that offers 3-4 parking spaces, right on the route to Stromberg and the old castle ruins. I also liked the good seating with a table, which offers space for at least 8 people. Not a view worth mentioning, but a wastepaper basket. I of value. To take a break, perfect!

A small ruined castle that is easy to explore and climb on foot. Great view over the surrounding valley.

Beautiful little castle ruins, but as others have already written, you could make more of it. I especially liked the many different plants and herbs that grow wild around the castle.

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.
