A very interesting historical landmark and surroundings. We enjoyed a lovely and tasty lunch lunch.

Fine food and snacks,, but the building is very nice, you can go into a room next to the cafe and there you’ll find some more old rooms from the fort.

Camped here for one night. Quite a lovely place, worth a visit! We were in luck with a quiet moment, apparently it can get very crowded during the weekends and holidays. Sanitary building was kept neat. There was also a possibility to keep any groceries cold in a fridge and take shelter in case of bad weather. The only minus that stood out was the little space between the camping spots.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on a cycling trip. Had a salmon club which was delicious as well as a radler and a coffee. No English menu but the staff helped me through it. Went to pay with visa (all I had on me) and we learned it was not possible. They were gracious enough to provide my lunch on the house! Bottom line great food and hospitable staff!

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.
