Cute small church with a colorful cemetery.

Beautiful area with both lake castle and church and now with a nice footpath, really nice trip, just one but the small wooden bridge in the reeds is very unstable to walk on

Nice view of the fjord, the lake and its birds.

Beautiful church and beautiful cemetery, both very well maintained. The church is closed to the public but the cemetery is open to them. We have access to a very beautiful view of the fields where we can see animals such as cows or geese. The view also allows us to observe the fjord which is also very beautiful.

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.
