I visited Wieskirche as part of a road trip through the Romantische Straße I took with my wife in early April 2019.

Wieskirche was actually our first stop on the Romantische Straße; since in the previous couple of days we visited Munich and Erding which are not really part of the Straße.

On the 2nd of April we left Erding and drove to 
Dachau concentration camp (a very touching experience) and eventually got back in the car towards our second stop: Wieskirche, where we arrived around 5pm.

From outside the church doesn't probably look impressive, however the location certainly covers for that. It looks like the church is in the middle of nowhere so is set in a very natural environment surrounded by the Alps, pine trees and even a lake; just marvellous!

Step on the inside to understand why this church became a UNESCO World Heritage site; it really is a Rococo masterpiece with stunning decorations, frescoes and stuccoworks in the tradition of the Wessobrunner School.

After spending nearly an hour in the site, we headed towards Füssen where we eventually spent the night.
