Walk in the footsteps of Bavaria's eccentric King Ludwig to Neuschwanstein Castle. Also known as the Koenig Ludwig Weg or King Ludwig’s Way. The eccentric Ludwig II succeeded to the throne of the then independent kingdom of Bavaria in 1864, as a youth of 18. On 13 June 1886 he and his physician Dr Godden were found dead in the water of the Starnbergersee (Lake Starnberg); the question still remains - Did Ludwig fall or was he pushed? He was a strong swimmer and a post-mortem established that he did not drown. But no one has succeeded in unraveling the mystery. The Koenig Ludwig Weg starts at the Votivkapelle (shrine), which marks the actual spot on the lakeshore ( near the hamlet of Berg) where the bodies were found. The route ends 60 miles away near Ludwig's own fairy tale castle at Neuschwanstein. This walk, which is one of the favourite longer walks in Germany, links places particularly dear to King Ludwig who was himself a keen walker. It is not a mountain walk and much of the route is on farm tracks and country lanes, but the surroundings are delightful, with a host of splendid buildings to admire in magnificent settings and plentiful opportunities to stop for refreshments! The plains surrounding Munich give way to gentle rolling hills that become ever higher as one approaches the great wall of limestone that marks the start of the Alps proper. The route passes two of Bavaria's most scenic lakes and through charming villages of geranium bedecked chalets with typical onion shaped church spires. There are masterpieces of baroque architecture, the Andechs monastery, the wonderful cathedral of Diessen on the Ammersee Lake; the monasteries of Wessobrunn and Rottenbuch, as well as the Wies or 'Meadow' church are on the route. The highest point (988m) on the walk is the summit of Hohenpeissenberg hill, considered by many to be the finest viewpoint in Bavaria. We end our tour at King Ludwig II’s most famous architectural masterpiece- the castle Neuschwanstein and at the nearby castle Hohenschwangau, both in Allgau on the Austrian border, where Ludwig spent most of his childhood. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of King Ludwig II (in 1995), the route was extended to begin at the Votivkapelle in Berg. It is a popular walk so early booking is recommended.

We enjoyed our week on the Dingle Peninsula hike. Each day provided a different experience. Accommodation while basic was full of character. Some challenging days but a great sense of satisfaction once completed. Loved the views.
Our trip was very well organized and the routes were clear and easy to follow using the app. All the accommodations were good and our luggage was always where we needed it to be. We loved the scenery and were able to visit many chateaus and other fascinating sights as we rode through the Loire Valley.
This was a fantastic trip. The hotels selected were excellent. What I appreciated the most was that all of the hotels were convenient to local public transportation.

Our self guided Bruges to Amsterdam was fantastic and I recommend this trip to anyone who loves an easy cycle along canals, country roads and farmers fields. They have the best fed livestock, ducks and goats we have ever seen. Beautiful homes so well kept! The accomodation was good to great and the luggage transport seamless. The app worked well along with the trail numbers to follow that were issued as a daily booklet. We had arranged to arrive at the first hotel a day earlier. Brugge was lovely and it turned out to be a good decision. My e-assist bike was fine but my husband"s bike had gear problems so was issued another bike. It was the same brand but older looking. On day two he had a flat. Luckily a very good bike shop was not that far away and we ended up purchasing a new tube. The old tube had been patched too often to make it a safe option to continue using that tube. That was the only negative.
Chania was probably my favorite spot, especially with how laid-back it felt. The ferry rides were actually really fun. I spent most of the time just watching the water and the dolphins.
