Herrenchiemsee, located in the stunning "Chiemgau" region of Bavaria, was King Ludwig 2nd's final, most opulent, and expensive building project. His obsession with France's "sun king", Louis IV lead him to create his very own Bavarian Versailles on the Herreninsel (gentlemen's island) This journey is a romantic trip into the fantasy world of King Ludwig II. Travel includes a one-hour train ride, a short steam train ride to the lake ( in the world's oldest continuously operating steam train!), and a lovely relaxed ferry ride to the Herreninsel where the palace is located. Personally, one of my favorite parts of this day trip is a visit to the charming "Fraueninsel", where we can stop for lunch and sample a local beer at the Island's very own microbrewery, or we can stroll around the pottery studios and fish huts to sample locally caught fish. Let me show you the hidden secrets of this charming location and share my own personal experiences of my many visits here.
- We will board the train at 9. 55 and arrive in the town of Prien am Chiemsee at approx 10. 50am. - From there we can take the historical steam train down to the lake to connect to the ferry which takes us to the island of "Herrenchiemsee". - We will take a lovely 20 min stroll through the forest to the palace for our 35-minute tour inside. I will also guide you through the museum and tell you the tragic story of King Ludwig 2nd with historical museum photos to accompany the commentary. - After the palace tour we will head back to the ferry and take a short 5-minute boat ride to the second island Frauneninsel where we will visit the historical church and see the fishing village with its potter's studios. - We can visit a guest house for coffee and cake or the island microbrewery for a beer and some lunch - After our visit, we will take the ferry back to the mainland for our return journey. I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a customized tour.
