About
Ludwig the II is Bavaria’s most beloved monarch, with a life and death surrounded by intrigue. During his reign, the king attempted to build several castles and palaces throughout Germany, but only two were ever completed: The Schachen House and Linderhof Palace. The first was used for his annual birthday bash while the latter became his favorite home and Alpine hideaway.
On our full day tour of Linderhof Palace, we explore the palace gardens, the grotto, and the castle itself. Along the way, we will enjoy the breathtaking Ammergau and Linden Valley views, and we will make stops in the village of Oberammergau and at a local Alpine coaster. This summer day promises to impress!
