Small castle with an interesting background. Very beautiful area, the Lion Trail hike can only be recommended

Nice lock, well preserved but locked. A great dynasty was born here.

Just a historically significant place. Not super special so going for a an hour or so is okay.

Nice place to visit. A few kilometers from Lorch. For the price of 4 euros you can visit the small museum inside containing medieval weapons and armor, a dining room and a bedroom with a picturesque bathroom. There is also a small souvenir shop.

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.
