If this Castle was good enough for Walt Disney....should good enough for all of us!…read more Awesome over the top Castle with gorgeous designs inside. If you are a Richard Wagner fan this place has tons of homages to the famous classic composser. Stunning views. visit the bridge above for another great vantage point. There is a simple tour you get using a listening device and it is well worth the effort. Highly recommend.

Beautiful castle - must see…read more The castle itself was beautiful and the outside grounds are very nice as well. Tips: Go early .. it can get quite busy We took the bus from our hotel to the site which was very convenient. Take a walk to the lake... it is very nice You can either walk up to the castle or take the bus: we took the bus up and walked down (to the bus stop) that was very nice... quick way up .. nice walk down. Make sure to check out the bridge before heading up to the castle... it is a beautiful view. Would I go back? Probably not if by myself..... but happy to take others so they can enjoy.

This place was our first stop in Oberammergau for food. My husband picked it, so I had no clue what…read morewe were stepping into other than "it's German food". The owner greeted us right away. He was very funny and interacted with the kids right away. After ordering our drinks, he sat next to my son in the booth and started doing magic tricks. My husband and I found it hilarious, while our 4 yr old was mystified. The kids loved their Mickey and gang cups (it's the small things in life). The menu was huge with lots of options. We ordered goulash for starters. SO GOOD! The kids had noodles, which my daughter devoured. I had Jagersnitzel which was also amazing. The portions are HUGE. After being in Germany for a couple months, I have to say this has been the best German I've had since being here. Mixed with the ambiance and entertainment, I'd go back again and again! You won't be disappointed!

I had dinner at Zauberstubn with a group of friends. It was great fun. The food is superb. I had…read morethe schnitzel which was delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food so I don't think you can make a wrong choice from the menu. The owner came over and did three magic tricks. One assisted by a young girl who was celebrating her birthday and her brother. The magician explained the trick afterwards to them and us, but the other two tricks he did not and we couldn't figure them out. He was very good and had an excellent sense of humor. Definitely make a reservation or you may not get to eat! Well worth a visit, especially if you have kids. The owner/magician speaks several languages so he can entertain everyone. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

Linderhof is the smallest of the three fairytale castles and palaces that King Ludwig II of Bavaria…read morebuilt. It was the only one that was completed....and he had plans in place to build a fourth one. The opulent palace was built in the Rococo style. It was built to be a mini Versailles. The French influence is seen throughout the palace. The location was chosen due to King Ludwig's familiarity as his Royal Family owned a small hunting "lodge" on the property. Ludwig moved modest home to build one if his fairytale masterpieces. Like the other two properties, no expense was spared. The palace is filled with gilded mirrors, chandeliers, walls and staircases. Tapestries and painting cover every surface from the ceilings to the walls to the floor. There are modern amenities in every room. Hot running water, flushable toilets and even a table that could be raised or lowered for private dining. His Venus cave is a nod to his love of mythology. The gardens are stunning. The fountain runs on mountain water. Due to the current summer drought, it has been placed on a schedule. So what happened to King Ludwig? No one actually knows. His love of building elaborate palaces and castles led him to bankruptcy. As he ran out of personal funds, he asked family members and friends for financial assistance. After a while, they stopped loaning him money, so as king he asked the Bavarian government to fund his projects. They said no twice. When he threatened to replace them, he was declared insane by psychiatrists who didn't actually interview him. He was committed and then within 24 hours, he and his psychiatrist were found floating in a shallow end of a lake. Coincidence??? So how was his debt paid back?? Six weeks after his death, the government took over his properties and charged admission for those who visited. A beautiful palace with a tragic mystery.

Ich komme aus Berlin und man müsste meinen von dort kenne ich Schwimmbäder mit hervorragender Ausstattung. Mitnichten: dieser Kinderwasserspielplatz ist das beste, dass ich bisher gesehen habe. Mein Grosser war mit den zwei Rutschen glücklich und mein Mann fand den Aussenschwimmbereich sehr gut. Wie waren unter der Woche, in der Schulzeit vormittags dort - und es war angenehm gefüllt.

We learned so much about the history of the families from the region. It was amazing to see some of the clothing and I really loved the 326 piece dining set, with each piece containing a photo of a place that was special to King Ludwig III and Queen Marie Therese. The whole Hohenschwangau area is done so well. It was busy but never overcrowded. The only long wait we had was for the bus back down into Fussën towards the end of the day. Well worth getting the Swan-Ticket to enjoy the museum and both castles. Be sure to book well in advance (as in weeks ahead, not the day before).

The perfect place to have dinner and watch the sun set. It has marvelous views over Lake Hopfen…read more(Hopfensee) from the dining room and terrace. It is just a 7 minute drive from the center of Füssen. There is a broad range of regional and local dishes. We were in a large group and every dish looked delicious. The food was hot and fresh and the portions plentiful. I had the Tiroler Holzfällerpfanne (Tyrolean Lumberjack Skillet) and it was of high quality. If I had one small complaint: the potatoes were just a little bit overcooked (soft), but it did not spoil my meal. There was also a selection of local spirits and drinks and of course, Bavarian beer, including a very local one. I have been living in the area for ten years and this place ranks high in customer service (hard to find around here!) and quality.. And it seems like the locals enjoy it, too, which is important! In short: If you want to have one last Bavarian dinner before leaving the Alps and Füssen, I would recommend this spot for both the view and the food. (By the way, I am not sure if they have an English menu, but I assume they do).
