Super sweetly received and drank the tastiest late macchiato in northern Netherlands ?

Gun turret could be viewed inside, but can be seen in about a minute. The gardens look neatly planted. Then in the tearoom less pleasant experience with a snarling managerial employee, I would not recommend the place because of this - we did not feel welcome

Regularly some cyclists or walkers who pass here. An oasis of peace. After viewing the old gun tower (you'll soon be done with that), we also walked through the historic herb garden. All beautifully in bloom in mid-June. We couldn't skip the terrace at the tearoom. Fortunately not only tea here .... The cup of coffee with apple pie tasted great. It also looks nice inside.

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.
