Romantic Road Germany

The Pfaffenwinkel, Germany

The Pfaffenwinkel is a part of southwestern Bavaria that is famous for its religious buildings and history.

The name itself refers to the local dialect for priests ("Pfaffen") - in other words, the "priests' corner".

As its name suggests, there are many pilgrimage churches and monasteries in the small villages and hilly countryside that make up the area - and the Romantic Road passes directly through this area via the towns of Schongau and Peiting and the villages of Rottenbuch, Wildsteig and Steingaden.

Welfenmünster, Steingaden

One of the biggest religious attractions in the Pfaffenwinkel is the Wieskirche - a pilgrimage church in the middle of the south Bavarian countryside near Steingaden:
