Wies Church
The Wies Church, officially known as the "Pilgrimage Church of the Scourged Savior on the Wies", is located idyllically in the Bavarian pre-Alps near Steingaden. It is one of the most significant Rococo structures in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. For convertible drivers, the Wies Church is not just a cultural highlight but also a wonderful stop on a winding tour through the Pfaffenwinkel and Allgäu pre-Alps.
Dreamy Drive through the Pfaffenwinkel
The route to the Wies Church takes you through one of the most picturesque landscapes in Bavaria. Those coming from the south, such as Füssen or Schwangau, drive through gentle hills, past lakes, alpine pastures, and green meadows – an ideal setting for a relaxing convertible drive with plenty of panoramas. The routes from Murnau or Oberammergau are also scenically beautiful and little-traveled, perfect for cruising with the top down. The Wies Church is part of the Tourist Route Romantic Road and is located south of Munich.
The roads are well-developed, occasionally featuring wide curves, and they repeatedly offer views of the nearby Alps. Especially in the morning or evening hours, a nearly magical atmosphere develops here.
