2017-09-17 Castle Number Two

Off to another Ludwig castle in the rain.  (Is there any other way to see a castle?)  History Moment:  Linderhof Palace is a Schloss (Castle)  in Germany, in southwest Bavaria. It is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.   All of the castles are not easy to access from a car.   (Of course, there are a million bus people). Most castle visits involve a 20 minute or so walk.   Ludwig had the palace built on the Versailles theme (remember he loved Louis XIV?).  Only 4 rooms have a defined function in the Linderhof Palace.  The rooms are the Hall of Mirrors, audience room, bedroom and dining room.  (Debbie is not sure what he did with the other rooms).  This tour required standing outside in the rain to wait for the tour.  It was an interesting tour – still no pictures!  Ludwig also had extensive gardens.  He liked to be rowed in his golden swan boat to a blue grotto.  The group was all set for the swan boat but found out the grotto is closed for repair for 5 years.

Next stop was the Ettal Abbey.  This is a  Benedictine monastery in the village of Ettal. With a community of more than 50 monks,  the Abbey is one of the largest Benedictine houses.   The monastery runs a brewery, a distillery, a bookstore, an art publishing house, a hotel, a cheese factory joint venture, and several smaller companies. The distillery produces Ettaler Kloster Liqueur, a herbal liqueur which comes in sweeter yellow and more herbal green varieties. The wine club claimed this as a field trip.  (Debbie pointed out that this was not wine but the wine club (WC) said that they were considering branching out to beers.)  There was also an incident where Debbie wandered into the monastery instead of the book store.  Let’s just say those monks were not all that friendly.  Other members of her party do not understand how this happened and wondered if she partook of the distillery products?

  1. Are still the only member in the chocolate club? Or have you recruited Joyce? I think that’s why you wandered toward the Monks, to see if they wanted to join.

    1. Yes, I think it is an excellent name. None of the wine club members have picked up on the alternate name. It was too subtle for them.

  2. I wanna see the inside of the palaces!!! Why is this a rule! The room of mirrors sounds like the name of a mystery novel
