Utter oppulance!

Take a quick tour through the castle and compare the completed rooms with the "incomplete" section and be amazed at the level of detail and craftsmanship in this castle. The hall of mirrors is breathtaking.

wonderful surprise- so much more than expected

This is not in several of the guide books but so worth the visit. We thought it the best of all of Bavarian castles- not crowded, pleasant boat ride and stroll to castle. Versailles hall of mirrors was outstanding without the lines!

Ludwig, Lauren rock

Eat your heart out, Versailles. Ludwig's castle beats Louis's castle hands down. Greeted at the till by a German sourpuss though. As if out to prove that "German service industry" is a contradiction in terms. However, the English-language tour guide, Lauren, more than makes up...More

Is it a problem to get a reasonable schloss tour time during August? We won't be able to get to the island until at least 10AM, will we be able to get a tour time within an hour or two? I don't want to go all the way to the island and wait 4 hours for a tour.

I would like to stop and visit on my way from Munich to Berchtesgaden. Unfortunately I will have my luggage with me. Are there lockers anywhere (for example, train station) where I can temporarily store my luggage?

Day 1) covered Day 2) Bayern Ticket covers the Meridian trains from Salzburg Hbf to Prien. But no the Chiemseebahn (steam tram) from Prien station to Stock harbor nor the boats from there to the Herreninsel island. Day 3) You're ending day 2 in Salzburg and are at day 3 at Garmisch-Partenkirchen? Cheaper than a Bayern Ticket is a Regio-Ticket Werdenfels for 4 persons (EUR 31,00). This ticket has unlike the Bayern Ticket also no "from 9am on weekdays" restriction. Neither ticket covers...More

Response fromBurgenlanderin|

Time in BGarten is soooo limited, I'm not sure why it's included given your short time except for the hiking. I think a great hike can start at the end of Konigsee (must use the boat to get there), so you have to factor that time into your plans. Your stops look terrific; however, I'm not sure you and fam have enough time for all.
