Linderhof is the smallest of the three fairy-tale palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, and the only one finished in his lifetime \u2014 the retreat where the reclusive \u201cfairy-tale king\u201d actually chose to live. Tucked into a wooded Alpine valley near Ettal and Oberammergau, it was built between 1872 and 1878 as a lavish royal villa in a highly ornate Neo-Rococo style, inspired by Ludwig’s idol Louis XIV of France and by his dreams of a vanished age of absolute monarchy. Small enough to feel like a private world, its gilded rooms open onto elaborate formal gardens and a park scattered with some of the most extraordinary garden buildings in Germany, from an artificial dripstone grotto to an exotic Moorish pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was es zu sehen gibt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The palace interior, seen on a short guided tour, is a riot of gold, mirrors and carving: the glittering Hall of Mirrors, the royal bedchamber, and the famous dining room with its \u201clittle table, lay yourself\u201d \u2014 a table that could be lowered through the floor and raised again fully laid, so the solitary king need never see a servant. Even more theatrical are the park’s set-pieces. The Venus Grotto is a vast artificial cave built for Ludwig alone, complete with an underground lake, a golden shell boat and coloured electric lighting, inspired by a scene from Wagner’s Tannh\u00e4user and among the technical marvels of its day. Nearby stands the gilded Moorish Kiosk with its peacock throne, bought from the Paris World’s Fair, along with a Moroccan house and rustic huts drawn from Wagner’s operas. Around the palace itself, terraced Baroque gardens step down to fountains \u2014 the great gilded jet before the palace shoots high into the air \u2014 while beyond them stretches a romantic English landscape park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anreise und praktische Informationen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Linderhof liegt im Graswanger Tal bei Ettal, in den Bayerischen Alpen s\u00fcdlich von Oberammergau und etwa 100 Kilometer s\u00fcdwestlich von M\u00fcnchen. Es gibt keinen Bahnhof in der N\u00e4he: Die meisten Besucher kommen mit dem Auto oder fahren zun\u00e4chst mit dem Zug nach Oberammergau (oder Garmisch-Partenkirchen) und nehmen dann einen Regionalbus zum Schloss; es lohnt sich daher, die Busfahrpl\u00e4ne im Voraus zu pr\u00fcfen. Der Eintritt in den Park ist kostenlos, w\u00e4hrend das Schloss im Rahmen einer zeitlich festgelegten F\u00fchrung besichtigt wird und ein Eintrittsticket erfordert; ein Kombiticket gilt auch f\u00fcr die Venusgrotte. Das Schloss ist ganzj\u00e4hrig t\u00e4glich ge\u00f6ffnet, allerdings sind einige der Parkgeb\u00e4ude, darunter die Grotte, im Winter geschlossen und wurden zeitweise wegen umfangreicher Restaurierungsarbeiten gesperrt. Planen Sie ein paar Stunden ein, um den Besuch des Schlosses mit einem Spaziergang durch die G\u00e4rten bis zur Grotte und zum Kiosk zu verbinden, und beachten Sie, dass die Wege bergauf im Park teilweise steil sein k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
