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.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a German ski resort in Bavaria, formed when 2 towns united in 1935. It's a prominent destination for skiing and ice skating as well as hiking. The town lies near the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, with a 2,962m summit accessed by cogwheel train and cable car. Garmisch is considered the more fashionable section, while Partenkirchen's cobblestone streets retain a traditional Bavarian feel.
The double-barrelled resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is blessed with a fabled setting just a snowball’s throw from the Alps and is a top hang-out for outdoorsy types, skiing fans and day-trippers from Munich. To say you ‘wintered in Garmisch’ still has an aristocratic ring, and the area offers some of the best skiing in the land, including runs on Germany’s highest peak, the Zugspitze (2964m).
The towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen were merged for the 1936 Winter Olympics and, to this day, host international skiing events. Each retains its own distinct character: Garmisch has a more 21st-century feel, while Partenkirchen has retained its old-world Alpine village vibe.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen was founded by uniting the two towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen by a decree of Adolf Hitler to bring the 1936 Winter Olympics to Germany. The International Olympic Committee was going to pass over Germany as the host, because there were not enough hotel rooms in the host town, so Hitler forced the unification of Garmisch and Partenkirchen to create a larger town, which would be more appealing to the IOC. Currently, Garmisch-Partenkirchen is home to a large US military base.

Linderhof Palace is a Schloss in Germany, in southwest Bavaria near Ettal Abbey.
It is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.
Ludwig already knew the area around Linderhof from his youth when he had accompanied his father King Maximilian II of Bavaria on his hunting trips in the Bavarian Alps.
When Ludwig II became King in 1864 he inherited the so-called Königshäuschen from his father, and in 1869 began enlarging the building.
In 1874 he decided to tear down the Königshäuschen and rebuild it on its present-day location in the park.
At the same time three new rooms and the staircase were added to the remaining U-shaped complex, and the previous wooden exterior was clad with stone façades.
The building was designed in the style of the second rococo-period.
Between 1863 and 1886 a total of 8,460,937 marks was spent constructing Linderhof.
The symbol of the sun that can be found everywhere in the decoration of the rooms represents the French notion of absolutism that, for Ludwig, was the perfect incorporation of his ideal of a God-given monarchy with total royal power.
The bedroom was important to the ceremonial life of an absolute monarch; Louis XIV of France used to give his first (lever) and last audience (coucher) of the day in his bedchamber.
In imitation of Versailles, the bedroom is the largest chamber of Linderhof Palace.
By facing north, however, the Linderhof bedroom inverts the symbolism of its Versailles counterpart, showing Ludwig's self-image as a Night-King.
The location of the palace near Ettal Abbey again presents another interesting point.
Because of its architecture Ludwig saw the church of the monastery as the room where the holy grail was preserved.
This fact connects the idea of a baroque palace to the one of a medieval castle such as Neuschwanstein and reminds of the operas of Richard Wagner whose patron Ludwig was.
The gardens surrounding Linderhof Palace are considered one of the most beautiful creations of historicist garden design, designed by Court Garden Director Carl von Effner.
The park combines formal elements of Baroque style or Italian Renaissance gardens with landscaped sections that are similar to the English garden.

German Neuschwanstein Castle - Amazing Places to Visit in the World
Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany is one of the greatest castles in Europe - and one of the most amazing places to visit on Earth. It was built between 1868 and 1886 by the Fairy-Tale King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Neuschwanstein is known all over the world as a symbol of idealised romantic architecture and for the tragic story of its owner. After losing sovereignty in his own kingdom, Ludwig II withdrew into his own world of myths, legend and fairy tales.
