St. Johannes Baptist auf dem Bussen, Catholic pilgrimage church on Bussen Mountain, Uttenweiler, Germany
The church consists of a Gothic bell tower from 1516, a modern nave from 1960, and an elevated choir with late Gothic net vaulting.
The first Christian sanctuary on Bussen Mountain appeared in 805 when Counts Chadaloh and Wago donated the land to Saint Gall Abbey.
The church houses a Pietà sculpture from 1585, stained glass windows depicting saints, and an altar created by sculptor Josef Henselmann.
Religious services take place on Sundays at 10:00 and Tuesdays at 19:00, with outdoor ceremonies conducted at the external altar during dry weather.
From the church plateau at 767 meters elevation, visitors can see the Ulm Cathedral and a panorama from Zugspitze to Säntis mountains.
