Small castle ruins above the roofs of Neidenfels with a beautiful view of the valley, Neidenfels and the paper factory. There are enough tables and benches for picnics and you can easily combine the ruins with a hike to the Lambertskreuz. Parking is available on site.

Nice scenic place

It is free so the cost benefit is infinite. Nice view to the city from the top, but the way to get there is not so nice, Google maps sent me by a very industrial area.

A very nice place with a great view. Visited on a geocaching tour. Some places to sit down are available and epyou can enjoy the nice area. There is also a Pokémon gym at 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.
