Beautiful Bavaria-Ettal, Schloss Linderhof, Oberammergau, Garmisch-Partenkirchen HD
Beautiful Bavaria-a two day visit to Ammergau Alps, from Munich to Ettal, Schloss/Palace Linderhof, Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Ettal is a small town in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Ettal is best known for its Benedictine Abbey/monastery, founded on 28 April 1330 by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian. The construction of the church was completed in 1370- In 1744, the abbey and the abbey church were largely destroyed in a fire. It was completely redesigned and spectacularly rebuilt in the Baroque style by Enrico Zuccalli, a Swiss-Italian architect working in Munich, who had studied with Bernini. The decoration was primarily carried out by Josef Schmutzer of the Wessobrunn School of stuccoists and Johann Baptist Straub, who was responsible for the altars and the chancel. The monastery runs a brewery, a distillery, a bookstore, an art publishing house, a hotel, a cheese factory joint venture, and several smaller companies. The distillery produces Ettaler Kloster Liqueur, a herbal liqueur which, like that of the Carthusian monks, comes in sweeter yellow and more herbal green varieties.
Oberammergau is famous as the town of the wood carvers and as the home of the Passion Plays which take place every ten years. Next, 42nd, will be held in 2020.
The wood carving trade dates back to the middle ages. Today there are still around 60 active wood carvers. Another, not a bit less important reason for Oberammergau to be world famous is 'Lüftlmalerei', a technique of painting the facades, originally applied for decorating the baroque facades in Italy and Southern Germany. The name of the technique is probably derived from the fact that Franz Seraph Zwinck (1748-1792), probably the most well-known craftsman of his guild, lived in a house called 'Zum Lüftl' in Oberammergau.
Linderhof Palace (German: Schloss Linderhof), in southwest Bavaria near Ettal Abbey is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, the only one which he lived to see completed and the one in which he stayed more than anywhere else. The Royal Villa of Ludwig II, originated as a hunting lodge belonging to his father Maximilian II - the Königshäuschen. It was enlarged by Georg Dollmann between 1870 and 1872 with a U-shaped complex centred on the King's Bedchamber. Although Linderhof is much smaller than Versailles, it is evident that the palace of the Louis XIV (who was an idol for Ludwig) was its inspiration.
The Palace Park was completed from 1870 to 1880 from designs by Carl von Effner. Surrounding the palace are imitation baroque gardens and terraces and cascades in the Italian Renaissance style. The adjoining landscape garden continues into the mountain forest of the Ammergau Mountains.
Ludwig II introduced architectural features into the park based on the world of the Orient, such as the Moorish Kiosk and the Moroccan House, and on scenes from Wagner's music dramas such as the Venus Grotto, Hunding's Hut and the Hermitage of Gurnemanz.
The linden tree, from which the palace takes its name, is now 300 years old.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is one of Germany's premier tourist holiday destinations and ski towns.. It lies a few kilometres from the Austrian border in the Oberbayern region, which borders Austria. Breathtakingly situated at the foot of Mount Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain at 2,962 m (9,718 ft.) it offers tremendous hiking, skiing and biking opportunities. Garmisch-Partenkirchen was founded by uniting the towns Garmisch and Partenkirchen for the Winter Olympics 1936.

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (German: Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by brothers J. B and Dominikus Zimmermann, the latter of whom lived nearby for the last eleven years of his life.
It is located in the foothills of the Alps, in the municipality of Steingaden in the Weilheim-Schongau district, Bavaria, Germany.
It is said that, in 1738, tears were seen on a dilapidated wooden figure of the Scourged Saviour.
This miracle resulted in a pilgrimage rush to see the sculpture.
In 1740, a small chapel was built to house the statue but it was soon realized that the building would be too small for the number of pilgrims it attracted, and so Steingaden Abbey decided to commission a separate shrine.
Many who have prayed in front of the statue of Jesus on the altar have claimed that people have been miraculously cured of their diseases, which has made this church even more of a pilgrimage site.
Construction took place between 1745 and 1754, and the interior was decorated with frescoes and with stuccowork in the tradition of the Wessobrunner School.
Everything was done throughout the church to make the supernatural visible.
Sculpture and murals combined to unleash the divine in visible form.
There is a popular belief that the Bavarian government planned to sell or demolish the rococo masterpiece during the secularization of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century, and that only protests from the local farmers saved it from destruction.
Available sources, however, document that the responsible state commission clearly advocated the continuation of Wies as a pilgrimage site, even in spite of economic objections from the abbot of Steingaden.
The Wieskirche was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983 and underwent extensive restoration between 1985 and 1991.
