Herrenchiemsee Palace,
My favorite of King Ludwig's castles and palaces. It is especially wonderful to go for a candle light concert.

Berchtesgaden

1- Munich's city center and Englischer Gardens.

2- Neuschwanstein Castle and area

3- Nurnberg's extensive remains of Nazi edifices such as the vast Parade Grounds just south of town - where Hitler famously reviewed goose-stepping troops - the balcony and the stadium are still there as is a museum documenting it all and Fascism in Germany.

4- Bamberg - wondrous old city

5- Herrenchiemsee Palace of Mad Ludwig - lovlingly set on an island in a lake.

Well those of the places I have been.

Ride a mountain luge - sommerrodelbahn - alpine coaster. They are one of Bavaria's cheap thrills and are sure to make anyone feel like a kid again. There are a couple near Ludwig's castles and some near Bamberg/Nuremberg. I'm sure there are many I don't know about. I've been on at least four different coasters in Bavaria and can't wait to go again this June!

Thank-you PalenQ and AndiM. I too love the mountain luges and coasters.

http://www.metzgerei-gerold.de/ Oberammergau's local butcher where you can order lunch. So fresh and the best food. Ilove this whole village.
All good suggestions, just my little gem for lunch.
