Tour of the castles of Bavaria - Neuschwanstein, Hoeshwangau, Linderhof, Oberammergau

We offer you an interesting excursion from Munich to the castles of Bavaria or, they are also called Ludwig Castles. During the tour you will see not only castles, but also the mountainous part of Bavaria-Alpes, as well as rural Bavaria. Ludwig Castles are located 120 km from Munich and 300 km from Nuremberg.

You will see the castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, the Linderhof Palace, the very beautiful mountain village of Oberamergau and the Vizkirche Church. And you can have lunch in the monastery of Etal, where the monks still brew delicious beer.

Neuschwanstein Castle is a dream castle, like a jewel shining among the greenery of alpine meadows and snowy alpine peaks. A building that amazes the viewer with its unreality. The most fabulous castle in the world, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world every year.

It can rightly be considered the crown of the works of King Ludwig II, the mysteries of whose life and death continue to occupy the minds of historians, researchers and fans of conspiracy theories.

Because of this castle, Ludwig lost his throne and the same castle has long been a hallmark of Bavaria around the world.

Nearby is Hohenschwangau Castle, behind which Swan Lake shines. In Germany, it is widely believed that Tchaikovsky wrote the music for the ballet of the same name, being impressed by this lake. Hoeshwangau is the summer residence of Bavarian rabbits, where Ludwig II spent his childhood.

Linderhof Palace is a “little Versailles” in the Alps, surrounded by a magnificent park with a grotto “Venus” and a Moorish pavilion. (The park is closed in winter, so we don’t go there.) If tourists insist, then we will take you in the winter, the palace is open.

The mountain village of Oberamergau is famous for its painted old houses (in German this painting is called “Luftmalerei” – “air painting”). Oberammergau is famous for its wood carvers and theatrical performance of The Passion of the Lord. People call this village “the city of masters”. All wood products sold here are handmade and, locals add, "without China's help."

The Church of Vizkirche or “church in the meadow” is among the “greatest temples in the world”

The history of the Vizkirche, or rather the Church of the Savior, dates back to 1738, when a miracle occurred - tears appeared in the eyes of the statue of the Sacramento Christ. In a short time, the Viz became the largest pilgrimage center in Europe of the XVIII century and that was when the church was built. One of the best South German monuments in the Rococo style.

As a guide to Munich and Bavaria, I will tell you about the life and death of King Ludwig of Bavaria, which is both a tragedy and the greatest mystery that has not yet been solved. Ludwig of Bavaria is a special page in the culture of not only Bavaria, but also the whole of Europe. This is the fate of the greatest monarchs of Europe.

In fact, there are a lot of secrets in the history of Bavaria. And what concerns the history of Ludwig’s insanity is the interpretation of politicians of his time, who had the advantage of presenting him in a way that would justify their actions. Who knows how crazy Ludwig really was? How do you measure the degree of madness? Who is more deranged, Ludwig or his father, who beat his sons into introverts and hidden homosexuals?

During a tour of the castles of Ludwig, I will show you the secret trails and waterfalls, where tourists usually do not step, show you where to eat and drink beer.

A one-day excursion to Neuschwanstein Castle, with a visit to the inner halls of Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau Castle, Vizkirche Church, Oberammergau village and Linderhof Palace, this is the most beautiful rich and at the same time picturesque excursion from Munich.
