The castle itself is small and not open for visitors bit the surroundings is amazing! A lot of nature, nice forest which is sorry beautiful during the autumn. There is also coffee shop nearby and ski resort.

In bad condition and could be seen only from outside. Worth to visit only if you are riding through bicycle Trail of the Eagle Nests.

Ruins of the castle which is embedded in the stone. Quite an impressive view. Unfortunately, you cannot go inside as it's permanently closed. If it was renovated as the Bobolice castle, it would be an amazing attraction. Fingers crossed ?!

Very nice place with good infrastructure. There is a parking, toilets and nice cafe with good sausages and pancakes. There are many nice paths nearby through the forest.

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.
