Already known place, it remains a nice stop to eat excellent Tyrolean specialties and drink excellent beer.

Mmmmmm nothing special, a country with the FORST company that is the host. Well immersed in the context though. Too bad that at the brewery shop, the bottles cost more than at the supermarket. Patience, I drink them anyway

Wonderful both in summer and in winter. Good beer good food fast and friendly service. Adjusted price. Great

Carlo Spagnolo (6 years ago)
Quality that has gradually reduced over time and is not worth the price. Beer is good. They feed you quickly and hurry you to leave the place. Never again

It has a very ancient history (it seems to date back to twelve hundred...) and it is famous for having hosted the famous minstrel poet Oswald von Wolkenstein, one of the best known medieval Tyrolean characters, in his prisons for months. Today it is owned by the Forst brewery and is used for events. It is not normally open to visitors.

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.
