Day 4: “The fairy tale prince’s castles” – Neuschwanstein and Linderhof Castles
First stop today is Neuschwanstein Castle. The reclusive king Ludwig II built the castle between 1869 to 1886 “in the traditional romantic style of old German knight’s castles” in order to escape into a fantasy world away from the public, but after his death, it became the most visited castle in Europe. After the tour of the palace you have some free time to enjoy the idyllic setting of the castle. In the afternoon, you will continue to the castle of Linderhof. Linderhof, the eventual result of a long period of building and rebuilding, is the only large palace King Ludwig II lived to see completed. Dinner and overnight in the region of Munich / Upper Bavaria
