Schloss Linderhof

With the option "XXL-Time Credit" you have the opportunity to visit LINDERHOF Palace - it was King Ludwig's smallest but most intimate castle located in a lonely Alpine valley. With its breathtaking french baroque design and famous Bavarian trick paintings it was King Ludwig II's favourite palace. Following the French model, Linderhof was the only one of the three "fairytale castles" to be completed. In the beautful castle park you can admire other "fairy tale buildings". ***** Skip-the-line entrance fee (2025): € 10.00 p.P. (children under 18 years are free) ***** Please note that a visit to Linderhof Castle AND the Alpine Coaster cannot always be guaranteed due to time constraints!

Oberammergau

OBERAMMERGAU - due to the Corona crisis, the world-famous Passion Play had to be postponed for the first time since WWII. The big event, which normally takes place at the full decade, had to be postponed until 2022. On a guided tour of the village we will be happy to show you the Passion Play Theatre and its spectacular "Cabrio Stage" as well as the enchanting wall paintings. During a stroll through the historic center you can discover numerous shops offering souvenirs in a wide range, including the famous Oberammergau wood carvings.

Ettal Abbey

ETTAL ABBEY: If you want to see (and understand) another baroque masterpiece concerning church decorations, inserted in a 12-page domed room from the 14th century, you should follow your guide in this lovely Benedictine monastery near a little passo, just a 5 minutes’ drive away from Oberammergau.

  • Are you able to walk slightly uphill from the car park to Neuschwanstein castle (approx. 1,5 km/1mile in an hour's time)?

Your guide can assist your group to make sure that you'll find your way. - In Neuschwanstein castle there are 346 stairs alltogether (up and down) to be managed.  If this is too much for you and if you have an appropriate medical certificate of disability or resstriction of mobility or similar (must be scanned and posted in advance), an exclusive lift service only for you with a maximum of one companion, accompanied by a castle-staff could be booked. The elevator service is without additional costs, but the number of  tours with that service is very limited and must be reconfirmed by the castle authorities. PLEASE NOTE: If you may need the lift service please inform us IMMEDIATELY after your booking! - To Hohenschwangau castle there is a carriage service (not in winter season) almost from door-to-door.
