Beautiful trail, easy to walk

Beautiful nature, lovely paths (requires some stamina, some parts go uphill). Great landscapes and a river, that reminds me of the mountain rivers

If you go by car recommended by Waze or Google Maps, be wary of a quite steep driveway to the parking, as the gravel road has very many potholes! Other than that, the track has a lot of beautiful views and stairs, so bring a water bottle with you and of course some food to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to wind down.

Good path for a walk, includes mounds path in the woods and big greens. With a couple of open spaces for scenery shots and benches for a sandwich pitstop. It is not long, but might be a bit tricky if you are not steady on your feet because some spots near the river are slippery. Also path is not even. It does not require special gear but pay attention!

Linderhof Palace

Linderhof is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.

Ludwig II, who was crowned king in 1864, began his building activities in 1867-1868 by redesigning his rooms in the Munich Residenz and laying the foundation stone of Neuschwanstein Castle. In 1868 he was already making his first plans for Linderhof. However, neither the palace modelled on Versailles that was to be sited on the floor of the valley nor the large Byzantine palace envisaged by Ludwig II were ever built.

Instead, the new building developed around the forester's house belonging to his father Maximilian II, which was located in the open space in front of the present palace and was used by the king when crown prince on hunting expeditions with his father.
