Linderhof Palace
A beautiful drive via private motorcoach through Austria’s Tirolean province to Wattens, home of the Swarovski Crystal Works. Tour the magical museum’s Chamber of Wonder, perfect gardens, affordable outlet shop and learn about the fascinating material which transformed the world of fashion and beauty into a seductively sparkling universe. Continue up into the mountains and on to Germany’s Bavarian landscape. Visit the tiny, enchanting woodcarver’s village of Oberammergau, with its richly painted houses and world-famous for it’s Passion Play performances, a tradition which derives from a vow made by the inhabitants in 16 , after a plague epidemic had miraculously cut short. Spend Saturday touring the ever impressive, magnificent monument to the power and follies of kings, Neuschwantstein Castle, perched on the foothills of the Alps and framed by one of the most breathtaking natural settings in the world and a sight made from dreams, the ethereal Linderhof Palace, the hunting lodge of opulent Roccoco style with massive grounds, a dream-like grotto and Moorish pavilion, both masterpieces of the absurd were built in the late 19th century by “Mad” King Ludwig, a man obsessed with myth and who himself became a legend. Return via Innsbruck with plenty of time to walk through the old town and see the Golden Roof! [$499] All Breakfasts & 1 Meal included.
The only true way to enter the Fantasy World.
