Quite a large complex, which recognizes or gives an idea of ​​the dimensions of the former Roman camp. The explanatory signs are unfortunately not all in the right place, which requires a little abstraction. One can certainly argue about the concept of making the floor plan recognizable by planting instead of a true-to-life reconstruction. The different gravel colors, which are supposed to distinguish modern from historical routes, are more likely to be guessed at than recognized. All in all, a nature-loving facility.

Today we were here to spend a nice afternoon. It was also worth it. The facility is very nice, but also very spacious. The museum is stocked with many great exhibits. Our son also liked it. (9) You can learn a lot about the Romans. Entry for four adults and one child with 15 euros is always good.

Outdoors, the marks of the Romans on the landscape are made visible, and you can literally walk on the history of the land. Indoors, a small municipal museum with a modern concept awaits ypu. Children as well as adults can interact with objects and displays to learn about the Roman limes in general and the nearby former Roman camp.

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.
