Walk in the footsteps of King Ludwig in Bavaria
This walk is amongst one of the favourites in Germany and was particularly
dear to the eccentric King Ludwig. Ludwig was the King of Bavaria from
1864‑1886, he was interested in art and architecture and was also a keen
walker. The walk starts near the site of his death at the Votivkapelle (shrine) in
Berg, and ends nearly 100km later near his fairytale castle Neuschwanstein.
The plains south of Munich give way to the gentle rolling hills of Bavaria
that increase in size as you hike towards the higher rocky mountains that
mark the start of the Alps. This walking route passes two of Bavaria's most
scenic lakes and through charming villages of geranium‑bedecked chalets
and characteristic onion‑shaped church spires. There are masterpieces of
baroque architecture, monasteries churches and a cathedral, to be seen on
the way and not forgetting King Ludwig's extraordinary castle at the end.
