Pilgrimage church Gügel was first mentioned as a castle with a chapel in 1274 and rebuilt after destruction in the Peasants' War in 1525. Very interesting is the access to the church from the back side over very narrow corridors and stairs. Makes children happy too!

Unusual church complex with a narrow spiral staircase from the chapel to the church above.

Beautiful church on a mountain. In the lower area there is a beautiful grotto in which you can light candles.
