"These castle ruins are truly magnificent - and I don't just mean the walls! With their imposing towers and mysterious basements, you feel like you're in a medieval adventure film. But, and that's a big but, if you want to take a break and enjoy the view , where is the seating if you want to unpack your refreshing drink? Maybe they should introduce a "knight's lounge" with picnic blankets and cooler bags - then you could really relax like a king while admiring the view of this majestic ruin! "

The approach to the ruins of the castle could be better marked, but a charming place. Free entrance and folders on site. Nice view of the Main.

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.
