Follow in the footsteps of fairy tale king
If you decide spending a holiday home vacation in Bavaria then one should combine it with some sightseeing such as tracing the footsteps of the legendary Bavarian fairy tale king Ludwig II.. His magnificent palaces Neuschwanstein, Herrenchiemsee and Linderhof pushed the Bavarian state towards bankruptcy – but today they are popular sights. There are many myths and legends that exist about the life of the king. What is sure though is that he lived in a dream world to flee reality and this was also the reason he ordered the construction of these grand palaces. Probably the most prominent palace is the splendid building Palace Neuschwanstain near to Füssen. It is the epitome of a palace from the romanticism and has not only served as a model for palaces in Disney theme parks but also entices thousands of domestic and foreign guests each year. By the way the fairy tale king did not witness the completion of the beautiful palace. Herrenchiemsee situated on the Herreninsel in Chiemsee is regarded as the Bavarian Versailles. The similarities are quite remarkable in respect to the basic architectural design of the palace all the way to the landscape gardening. There is even a copy of the famous Versailles Hall of Mirrors. The palace Linderhof at Ettal is the smallest of the palaces and also the only one where the king lived for a longer period. Particularly impressive is the garden complex with Venus Temple as well as the artificially created Venus Grotto where the monarch was shipped around whilst enjoying elaborate light effects and opera music from Richard Wagner. A highlight in both Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee are the mechanically retractable dining tables that enabled the king to dine without the presence of a servant as the table was submersed for the next course down to the kitchen below and then brought up again.vAlso worth a visit whilst on a palace tour is the Königshütte (king’s cabin) in Wettersteingebirge. Here in this more inconspicuous wooden house you will find an array of oriental adornment and it is a place where the king spent his birthdays and could slip into the role of an oriental sultan.
