A King’s Dream Land
The myth lives on!: After 122 years after his mysterious death in Lake Starnberg, many fans of King Ludwig the II still celebrate his birthday on the 25th of August. His Majesty was obsessed with castle architecture and loved the Bavarian mountains. Near Garmisch-Partenkirchen at an elevation of 1,800 Meters King Ludwig II built his dream mountain home the „Schachen“ right next to the highest Botanical Garden in all of Germany. Castle “Neuschwanstein” has attained world recognition, and not only for Walt Disney’s rendition. Directly next to it lies “Hohenschwangau”, the summer home of Ludwig II’s parents. He also built Castle “Linderhof” with it’s famous Venus Grotto. All these castles are easy day trips and combine that with the perfect starting point for your Bavarian Alpine adventure, Reindl’s Partenkirchner Hof is an ideal place to stay. After a day of reliving the dream of the “Fairy Tail” King it is imperative to spend your evening having a “Kingly” meal in Marianne Holzinger’s Reindl’s Restaurant
