View from Bussen

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bussen – also known as the "Holy Mountain of Upper Swabia" – is a must-see if you're in the area. It offers magnificent views, and the St. John the Baptist pilgrimage church is also very beautiful. It's located in the village of Offingen, part of the municipality of Uttenweiler in the Biberach district. The last stretch is a relatively steep climb, so it's best to walk to the church itself. But it's definitely worth it.

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.

At 767 metres, the Bussen is the highest elevation in Upper Swabia. It is located in the Biberach district and is notable for the fact that there is a church and a castle ruin on the mountain saddle.

At the highest point in Upper Swabia there is no summit cross but a church. Open daily, it offers visitors a quiet place for reflection and contemplation. Invited to pray and in becoming aware of the Creator, many visitors are sure to come to their senses here.
