One of the most pleasant things to do is to take a boatride on the Konigsee Lake. This is the deepest and cleanest lake in Germany. The water is crystal clear due to the fact that the boats are all electric. There are no gas fumes or exhaust to polute the water or air. These boats are also incredibly quiet. They make almost no noise at all making the trip peaceful and relaxing. These boats leave every half hour or so and take you across the lake to Saint Bartholoma, a small church reachable only by boat. The ride takes about half an hour and goes thru the mounains. About the midway point, the captain of the boat stops, opens a window and plays a horn pointed at the mountains. The echo is incredible. It sounds like a symphony. After the St. Bartholoma stop, the boat continues on to another stop about a half hour away, and then returns to St. Barts, and then back to the main boat dock....

Lindehof is one among the four most interesting Ludwig's Castles.In the middle of a severe mountain landscape, in loneliness of valley Grassvangthal, Linderhof Palace was constructed under the instruction of king Ludwig II. Galleries with the lime arches directly behind the Palace withdraw upwards on abrupt northern slope from strictly ornamental garden-carpet in the form of Burbon lines. Water flows down here downwards cascades, on thirty marble steps, in pool with a fountain decorated by sculptural group of the Neptune.More information you can get at my Linderhof VT Travel Page
