While we somehow managed to visit München during the great heat wave of 2019, taking a tour with…read moreOzzie was breeze of cool air. Our only regret was that we didn't take the tour on the very first day we were in München. Ozzie did a wonderful job of taking us to places of interest, explaining the history and context of each location, and teaching us how to immerse ourselves into Bavarian culture. I've always known my ancestors were from Germany, but after taking Ozzie's tour I knew more specifically that they came from Bavaria. Back to Ozzie though, you can tell he loves his city and he loves Bavaria. You can't help but fall in love with his outlook on life and his city in the process. If I find out anyone is going to München, I will insist that their first activity is to call Ozzie and take a tour because it will make the rest of their trip that much more enjoyable.

Linderhof is the smallest of the three fairytale castles and palaces that King Ludwig II of Bavaria…read morebuilt. It was the only one that was completed....and he had plans in place to build a fourth one. The opulent palace was built in the Rococo style. It was built to be a mini Versailles. The French influence is seen throughout the palace. The location was chosen due to King Ludwig's familiarity as his Royal Family owned a small hunting "lodge" on the property. Ludwig moved modest home to build one if his fairytale masterpieces. Like the other two properties, no expense was spared. The palace is filled with gilded mirrors, chandeliers, walls and staircases. Tapestries and painting cover every surface from the ceilings to the walls to the floor. There are modern amenities in every room. Hot running water, flushable toilets and even a table that could be raised or lowered for private dining. His Venus cave is a nod to his love of mythology. The gardens are stunning. The fountain runs on mountain water. Due to the current summer drought, it has been placed on a schedule. So what happened to King Ludwig? No one actually knows. His love of building elaborate palaces and castles led him to bankruptcy. As he ran out of personal funds, he asked family members and friends for financial assistance. After a while, they stopped loaning him money, so as king he asked the Bavarian government to fund his projects. They said no twice. When he threatened to replace them, he was declared insane by psychiatrists who didn't actually interview him. He was committed and then within 24 hours, he and his psychiatrist were found floating in a shallow end of a lake. Coincidence??? So how was his debt paid back?? Six weeks after his death, the government took over his properties and charged admission for those who visited. A beautiful palace with a tragic mystery.

So compared to King Ludwigs bigger castle Neuschwanstein Castle Linderhop pales in comparrison…read more It is still worth visiting: Gorgeous grounds, The very unique Grotto ( think Playboy mansion grotto from the 1800 hundreds). The castle itself is ornate but small compared to Neuschwanstein Castle.
