Excursion Destinations
and Sights
There is much to see in our vicinity. Baroque and Rococo have left us with famous churches and structures. King Ludwig himself built several castles within close reach, and renowned artists found inspiration in the charm of the pre-Alpine region…
Museums
Monasteries and Churches
Foremost among them is the Wieskirche, the Rococo jewel and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Pfaffenwinkel. The name “Pfaffenwinkel” attests to the many churches, monasteries, and chapels, all worth a visit – Ettal, Rottenbuch, Benediktbeuern, Polling, Beuerberg, and many more.
The Bavarian Royal Castles
King Ludwig II left an impressive legacy with his castles, creating tourist highlights for his beloved southern Bavaria that have not lost their allure even after more than a hundred years.
Linderhof Palace, a pleasure palace with the famous Venus Grotto in an extensive park.
Herrenchiemsee Palace, known as the “New Versailles,” situated on an island in Lake Chiemsee.
Neuschwanstein Castle, the king's dream turned into stone, boldly perched on a rock above the Pöllat Gorge.
Hohenschwangau Castle, the only truly inhabited castle. Ludwig spent many years of his childhood here.
City Tours
The central location of our house allows day trips to well-known and famous cities in the Alpine region – Munich, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Salzburg, Füssen…. For those who prefer not to travel too far, visiting the charming towns of Murnau and Bad Tölz in the immediate vicinity is a great option. Here, you can enjoy beautiful shopping and stroll through the old town.
