Bebris Castle

Mtskheta, Georgia

Bebris Tsikhe (The Elder's Fortress) is located further up the main road from Samtavro. The ruins are fun, if a bit dangerous, to climb on for views overlooking Mtskheta and the valley formed around the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers.

My friends and I found this fort from the internet and decided to check it out. Overall, it's not bad and the view from it was amazing! The fort itself is not really well maintained, but we still enjoyed it. This fort is around Mtskheta area.

The fortress has stunning views on Mtsketa, but it needs to be renovated. Not well cared.

The fortress is filled with animal/human p*** and very dirty. I didn't make it past the entrance as there was a danger I might step into something. Avoid.

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.
