Magnificent Scenery, Lakes, Castles & Bavarian Culture
Enjoy an extended relaxed tour of beautiful Bavaria; travelling through magnificent countryside being captivated by Castles and country Palaces, including Schloss Neuschwanstein with its fairy-tale turrets of King Ludwig II, and the lavish Schloss Linderhof. Throughout the tour we have included visits to all three of Ludwig II Bavarian palaces so at the end you decide for yourself which really is the most spectacular.
Berchtesgadener, protruding into Austria whilst still in Germany, is one of the most beautiful regions in the whole of Europe. Here we visit the Salzberwerk (Salt Mines), Lake Königssee (Kings Lake) and the Eagles Nest – perched at 1,834m this was given by Martin Bormann to Adolf Hitler for his 50th birthday.
Along the way there is time to visit the many interesting villages of the famous “Romantic Road” as we travel towards Munich for a visit to the city and capital of Bavaria.
Our final destination for the tour is wonderful Rothenburg ob der Tauber; origins here go back to the 12th century and little has changed to today, with its city walls surrounding Gothic cathedrals and an array of gabled houses it’s just perfect for a guided wander.
