Linderhof Schloss

Ready for an amazing landscape?! Like one of those amazing desktop backgrounds that you can find in your computer?? So here is THE place!

Linderhof Schloss is the smallest of the three castles built by König Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.  It was inspired on Versailles Castle and took about 23 years to be finished. The place has a lot of rooms since small to big ones and a huge variety of mirrors which makes the place looks bigger. A curious fact is that the König Ludwig II used to live alone in the castle and did not like to be disturbed, especially during his meals. Thinking about it, he asked for a private dining room: there was a basement where his employees prepared the food and to avoid disturbing him, they sent the food through a table that worked as a lift. When Ludwig pushed a kind of a button, the table that was in the dining room went to the basement and pushing the button again the table went up again with the food. The staff had to lay the table for at least four persons because it is said that the king used to talk to imaginary people while he was eating. For Ludwig II enjoyed the company of those people and admired them.

The visit inside the castle is very quick but you can take advantage and practice your German!! The explanation is in German but you can find a book with the explanations in many different languages as Romanian, Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian and so on. So you can read it in your mother tongue and try to follow the German explanation.

If you get sick of visiting the castle and the garden you can go to Ettal. A city close pretty close where you can find a lot of nice things as the Pope’s beer (irony??) and the typical Bavarian underwear (some say they are too small…Eaowwww).
