This rococo church (1746 – 1754) is the major work of the brothers Dominikus and Johann Babtist Zimmermann and a UNESCO World Heritage site. And rightly so: seldom have cheerfulness and holiness been combined more beautifully than in this light-flooded interior, which can also be enjoyed during the many concerts held here.
Oberammergau
This holiday resort is well known for its Passion Play, though the paintings on the walls of the houses, so-called “Lüftlmalereien”, and the artistic woodcarvings are themselves well worth a visit.
Ettal
It is the idyllic location of this Benedictine monastery, built by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in 1330, that first of all appeals to us. After a walk through the wonderful basilica try the beer from the monastery brewery!
Linderhof Palace
Small is beautiful! This palace built by Ludwig is for many the best of all. Particularly impressive are the Hall of Mirrors, the Palace Park with its Moorish Kiosk, the Peacock Throne and the artificial grotto with a wave-machine where Ludwig II had himself rowed along in his shell-shaped boat.
Plansee
This mountain lake, 76 meters deep, is so beautifully situated that Ludwig II wanted to build a palace here as well.
