… After driving along the Theresienwiese – the venue of the world’s largest folk festival, the Oktoberfest – we leave Munich and take the highway heading South…
With a short stop at Lake Starnberg, you will be amazed by the crystal clear waters of the second largest Bavarian lake. And of course we will show you the place where King Ludwig II died mysteriously on June 13, 1886!
Castle NEUSCHWANSTEIN – dream destination of countless travellers from all over the world! No building in Germany is visited more often than Ludwig’s most famous fairytale castle, which began construction in 1869.
It was dedicated to Ludwig’s favorite composer Richard Wagner; the neo-Romanesque facade deceives the fact that the progressive king had it built as a high-tech castle.
During the 35-minute guided tour of the castle, you will be shown all the completed living rooms of the king. On the following 15-minute way to the exit you will pass through one of the unfinished floors, after which you will see the unusually modern kitchen of the castle as well as the planned bathroom.
Skip-the-Line tickets are already included in the travel price!
Mary’s bridge (“Marienbrücke”) – THE TOP VIEWPOINT – built in 1866 by King Ludwig II is one of the most famous in the world! It can be easily reached by a shuttle bus (€ 3.00 p.p.) from the parking lot or on a 40-minute uphill hike. From the bridge you’ll reach the castle entrance within a 20-minute walk downhill and pass one more magnificent viewpoint!
Enjoy views of the spectacular Pöllat waterfall from the Neuschwanstein Castle Courtyard and from the view point Marienbrücke “Queen Mary’s Bridge” (for departures after 8 a.m. waiting times are possible; in case of snow and ice, the bridge is closed). The Pöllat is a 10 km long wild river and rises not far from Neuschwanstein Castle in the Bavarian Alps.
Look forward to Hohenschwangau Castle, the neo-Gothic summer residence of King Maximilian II (the father of Ludwig II), also with an overwhelming fairytale interior and a spectacular children’s room. For the 45-minute guided tour, we reserve a skip-the-line admission for you. Entrance fees (2022): € 23.50 / adult, € 13.50 / child 7 – 17 years, € 2.50 child under 7 years *****
Between Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Castle, there are almost 60 minutes’ drive on the most scenic routes. The highlight is the Plansee, which is surrounded by high Alpine peaks. Depending on the traffic situation or – in winter – in case of avalanche danger, we drive a similarly attractive route on the Bavarian side.
In the middle of a remote Alpine valley, Ludwig II built his most magnificent and at the same time most intimate castle. Let yourself be overwhelmed by the rooms decorated in French Rococo style during the 30-minute guided tour!
Please note that the famous Venus Grotto will be CLOSED UNTIL 2025 due to restoration work!
Entrance fees adults 2022 (skip-the-line ticket): € 10.00
Children under 18 years: free admission
Due to the COVID-crisis, the famous Oberammergau Passion Play had to be postponed for the first time since the 2nd World War. Normally, this major event, which dates back to the 17th century, always takes place during the full decade. We are happy to show you the Passion Theatre with its spectacular “convertible stage” on a guided tour of the town and will also be happy to explain the enchanting frescos/murals (“Lüftlmalereien”) to you. Take time for a shopping spree in the historic town centre – numerous shops offer inexpensive souvenirs in a large selection, including the famous Oberammergau wood carvings.
Founded at the beginning of the 14th century, Ettal Monastery is one of the highlights of this tour due to its Gothic-Baroque church. The Benedictine monks not only run a grammar school, but also brew the delicious Ettal monastery beer, which can be enjoyed on site together with specialties from Bavarian cuisine in one of the numerous inns.
Between the sights and during the trips to and from your hotel, you will enjoy the journey in our luxurious minivans with panoramic glass roof, full leather upholstery and all conceivable safety features and receive exciting information from your friendly and professional tour guide.
