It was a surprisingly stunning view from this light tower. Take care to choose the right time and light setting for this visit and then it's worth the 5€ entrance fee.

A must visit sight! You can drive there from Tallinn in 50 minutes, visit the Lighthouse, watching everywhere from top of the lighthouse. Cliff is also a lovely see sight.

The place where the sea and the sun kiss you at the same time. I really love this place. We were there when temperature was almost 22°. I recommend to visit little bit high temperature like 28 or 30° otherwise bring Jacket with you. Overall, great place to 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.
