It's always a pleasure to cycle on the Bussen mountain. I come here at least twice a year. The Bussen pilgrimage is particularly recommended.

All in all, an unspectacular church, but one with significance for Upper Swabia and a wonderful panoramic view of the Oberland. Definitely worth a detour.

At the highest point in Upper Swabia there is no summit cross but a church. Open daily, it offers visitors a quiet place for reflection and contemplation. Invited to pray and in becoming aware of the Creator, many visitors are sure to come to their senses here.
