We stopped to eat lunch at this wonderfully remodeled location. They have kept the authentic look, but modernized the interior and put in a small coffee/tea house and restaurant. The menu has something for everybody, especially hungry bicyclists on vacation. The area is like a backyard type of experience and the inside is like someone’s living room. They rent out several spaces for company events too. It’s a hidden gem in every sense of the word an definitely worth a visit! I’d go out of my way to go here again!

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.
