Great to be able to go down into a burial mound! Interesting lecture. Maybe could put a baja-maja there for the time being.

A nice short stop worth a visit if you are passing by. It is a tunnel with one view point in the end and outside you can take a fika under roof while being outside.

An excellent well preserved ancient site from the bronze age. The level of conservation and access to the burial is beyond a shadow of a doubt well planned and executed. A fun time was had by the entire family during our visit.

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.
