After a steep climb, you have a great view, if the weather is good, all the way to the Alpine foothills. The climb to the church is tough!

Many couples have had their wish to have children come true after visiting here. Bussen has long been a place of pilgrimage where childless couples pray for children. In the past, you could buy sweet pastries in the shape of babies, but they didn't taste very good. But the Mother of God has helped many couples.

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.

Great castle ruins here on the Bussen. Really idyllically situated in a park with old trees and a work of art in the forecourt. The building is amazingly well preserved. It is open to the public from May to October.

The castle ruins are open to visitors from May to October. A great and well-preserved castle ruin. The place here on the Bussen is very idyllic on the one hand because of the ruins and the trees and on the other hand it is impressive because of its exposed location! When the weather is good you have a fantastic view of the Allgäu, the Alps and also towards the north.
