A ruin visible from below; parking possible in the valley opposite the villa. The path is overgrown >no clues. Once at the top the door is locked (private) no information, no bank. It's a shame, it's not worth going.

Exciting surroundings, completely isolated from the noise of civilization. As a child you will find a true adventure land here.

Very beautiful castle ruins. Unfortunately, you cannot go directly into the castle as it is locked by a door. But there is also a small path around the castle.

Secluded area...castle closed...many rock formations at a dizzy height, you should only visit in good weather...very steep.If you like grazing animals, this is the place for you!Lots of nature and water...if you want peace and quiet, this is the place correct.

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.
