The church of Maria de Victoria, also known as the Asam Kirche, is a stunning baroque church. Expecting a church more like the Asam Kirche in Munich which focuses more on these artisans' Baroque plasterwork, I was surprised to find a study in perspective in this medium size church. Confronted with a set of design challenges in what is basically a rectangular church, the brothers worked out a set of multiple perspective points that makes a celestial vision absolutely pop out at the viewer. This is coupled with clever plasterwork along the edges of the ceiling which integrate it with the walls to smoothly transition their work into the plain walls. The altar is a nice baroque composition, but the "professors" seating along the walls of this Jesuit church are extremely well crafted. In the the small treasury in the back of the church there is a magnificent monstrance made in Augsburg that commemorates the Battle of Leponto. While such a warlike scene that is somewhat jarring when seen on such a religious article, I guess it's understandable after such a significant turning point in the then-ongoing war against Islamic expansion. In a somewhat similar vein, the warrior-leader Tilly's crucifix in silver and ivory is also kept in the treasury. Admission is €3. I was allowed to use the English language guidebook to guide my visit. There really is no parking close to the church, but it is a short walk from the large public parking lots. The docents at the church were friendly.

We had the pleasure of staying in an apartment on the lake. We had beautiful views of the lake and in the evening got to watch the sun go behind the mountains. We were even able to pick out Zugspitze on the horizon. At night there was no shortage of stars. We took a day out of our trip to relax and walk around the lake. There were lots of people out on the lake and it was fun watching the wind surfers. There are lots of mountain trails nearby. Definitely worth a visit if you are into hiking or water sports or just want a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the nature!

This medieval church stands on the southern stretch of the Romantic Road.

Because the Wieskirche is a building by itself in the fields, it's easy to see it's simple architecture from every angle. The interior of the church is one of the best Rococo churches that I've seen. The colors of the paintings on the walls are both vibrant and subtle at the same time and painted in a way that you can concentrate on detail without being overwhelmed by the experience. The placement and size of the windows lets you follow the flow of the oval shape on the outside and illuminates the objects on the inside so that you can easily take it all in. It is said that a statue of Christ wept tears near this site in 1738 and began the pilgrimages to the site. I've been to many churches in the world and this one is on my top ten list. Many concerts are held here because of the excellent acoustics. Parking is cheap and convenient.

This is a small church in Munich in the old town area very close to the Marienplatz. This is the Church of St. Johann Nepomuk, also known as the Asam brothers church. This is an amazingly beautiful and full of details built in a Baroque style by two brothers. The two Asam brothers who were sculptor and painter built this beautiful church as a showcase of their talent. They lived there and met with their clients over there. This is simply a breathtaking and magnificent monument with lots of great artful details. Bravo Asam brothers. It is a must see in Munich.

This walled village houses mercantile buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The fortified wall has sixteen towers; you can access the city from four of them.

Drove the Romantic Road in August. This was one of our favourite villages of the trip. Straight out of a Grimm's Fairy Tale. Cobblestone streets, friendly folks and a very peaceful atmosphere. The houses and businesses are rendered in late Renaissance facades with pastel colours and half-timbered frames. So photographic and charming. We parked on the outer ring and walked into the town through one of the four medieval gates that remain . This town has a history! Probably starting around the 8th century. It was once a "Free Imperial City" of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 13th century the fortifications began. Luckily this town is original, untouched by WWI or WWII bombings. Forward thinking in the 19th century, by Ludwig I proclaimed the city to be a heritage site to be preserved and protected. Delightful shops, bakeries, cafes, inns, restaurants and churches. Well worth an afternoon of roaming around. Highly recommend saving time to walk the fortification walls or at the least climb the St. George church tower. Delightful!

While driving through the area, we stopped at a bakery in this small town. The lady in the bakery recommended that we stop in the church and we are very grateful for her suggestion. The inside is very ornate and beautiful. They had a large and extensive nativity on display as we were there just after New Year’s Day. We wish the gift shop had been open.
