A Wisconsin and registered U.S. landmark, Holy Hill and its accompanying shrine and church, sit atop one of the highest points in the state. Towering some 1350 feet above sea level, the grounds thrill visitors with a commanding view and ambiance that has gained international acclaim. The grounds of Holy Hill and Shrine are revered for their collective beauty, period architectural style, a colorful history, religious significance, and tangible contributions to the local community and the community of man.

I did not climb the many stairs to the observation tower, due to my respiratory condition, but the view must be beautiful.  I could not walk the 9 miles of scenic paths for the Stations of the Cross.
