In Germany, it is very rare – at least in my experience – to come across a shrine dedicated to the Mother of God that bears the name "LA SALETTE" as its patron saint. Many visitors will therefore be unfamiliar with the name. The original Marian shrine referred to here – between Engerazhofen and Engelboldshofen – is located in the French Alps (Grenoble district) and is an important Marian shrine, even if it has not achieved the same level of fame as other pilgrimage sites honoring the Mother of God, such as Lourdes in the French Pyrenees or Fatima in Portugal. The Marian shrine of "La Salette" is, of course, also included in the komoot system. It can be visited – at least virtually – at the following link.

Decide towards the Danube or the Rhine 😄

Wurzach Castle (1723-1728) in the city center boasts one of the most beautiful Baroque staircases in southern Germany. It is considered a jewel on the Upper Swabian Baroque Route. The elegantly curved staircase cleverly ascends a considerable height to the ceiling fresco, depicting an ancient heaven of the gods. The impressive painting centers on the legend of Hercules. Commissioned by the House of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach, it was likely significantly influenced by Italian artists. The castle courtyard is flanked by two guardhouses, the "Hohes Haus" (High House) to the west and the "Rentamt" (Tax Office), built in 1691, to the east. This wing also houses the old castle chapel, first mentioned in 1422. To the left in the choir is the tomb of George I of Waldburg, "Jörg with the pretty hair," who died in 1467. The Baroque staircase is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (free entry) (Source: https://www.oberschwaben-tourismus.de/attraktionen/barocktreppenhaus-wurzacher-schloss-759edc50a8)

Meadows, farms and small villages characterise the landscape on both sides of the forest on the ridge

Great view from Willerazhofen over the Ellerazhofer Weiher

Chapel and wayside cross with a view of the Wurzacher Ried

It is definitely worth stopping here for a moment and taking in the picture-perfect view.

The overgrown plain, which is now used for agriculture, still gives an idea of the former extent of the Federsee
