2. Linderhof Palace is the smallest and the only palace King Ludwig II completed. Inspired by French Rococo, it served as his private retreat. Key Activities Palace Interior Tour: Take a short tour (approx. 25 minutes) to see the opulent interiors, including the magnificent Hall of Mirrors and the King's Bedroom. Note the famous "Tischleindeckdich"—a self-setting dining table designed for the solitary king. The Palace Gardens: Explore the beautifully designed Baroque park. Be sure to see the impressive Neptune Fountain which shoots a powerful jet of water hourly. Venus Grotto: This artificial stalactite cave was built as a stage setting for Richard Wagner's operas and features an underground lake where the king was rowed in a golden shell boat. Linderhof offers a fascinating look into the dreams of the "Fairy Tale King."

Key sights include the magnificent High Castle (Hohes Schloss), known for its impressive late-Gothic architecture and illusionary painted façade. Below it, you'll find the majestic Baroque complex of St. Mang’s Abbey, home to the town museum. Füssen provides a perfect blend of history, architecture, and alpine charm.

4. Ettal Abbey is a magnificent Benedictine monastery nestled in the Bavarian Alps, close to Oberammergau and Linderhof Palace. Founded in 1330 by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian, the abbey is famous for its breathtaking Baroque Basilica, featuring an impressive dome and opulent Rococo interiors. The church is a major pilgrimage site, centering on a revered statue of the Virgin Mary.

About Munich

Munich is the Bavarian capital, with a rebuilt old town, beer gardens, royal palaces and the Alps visible on clear days to the south.

Marienplatz, the main square, is overlooked by the neo-Gothic New Town Hall, whose Glockenspiel chimes with mechanical figures, and by the twin onion-domed towers of the Frauenkirche. The Viktualienmarkt close by is a food market with a beer garden. The Residenz, the former home of Bavaria's rulers, has lavish halls and a treasury, and Nymphenburg Palace stands in a park to the west.
