Castles Tour 1

Drive into the Graswang Valley to Linderhof Castle. Ludwig II had a ‘royal villa’ built here in the middle of the mountains, modelled on a French villa. After visiting the palace, take a walk through the magnificent park with its pools and fountains.

The Venus Grotto will soon be accessible again after extensive restoration work.

Continue to Oberammergau, world-famous for the Passion Play which takes place every 10 years, but also for its many woodcarvers and Lüftlmalereien. Guided tour of the town.

Possibility for lunch.

Continue along the ‘Romantic Road’ to the Wieskirche. The pilgrimage church ‘Zum gegeißelten Heiland’ is the jewel of Bavarian rococo and is one of the most beautiful churches in southern Germany. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983.

On the way back to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, stop at the Benedictine monastery of Ettal and visit the mighty baroque basilica with its 70 metre high dome.

We will also be happy to put together an individual programme to suit your wishes and make suggestions for a pre-booked lunch.
