Herrenchiemsee – the Fairytale King’s Palace

Exit Munich on the motorway in the direction of Salzburg to Prien. In Prien we will take the boat that will take us to the Herrenchiemsee Palace, located on the island of Herreninsel in the center of Lake Chiemsee.

Ludwig II of Bavaria, better known as the Mad King, ordered the construction of this palace that was planned as a tribute to Louis XIV. of France, whom Louis of Bavaria greatly admired. A tour of the gardens and halls will remind us of the splendor of Versailles.

After the visit we will take the boat back to Prien, where we will have lunch. In the afternoon return to Munich.
