Linderhof Palace Park

On the north side of the palace, to the left and right of the cascades, arcades of linden trees supported by gardens flank the ensemble. Two additional arcades form an arched element around the entire ensemble. All four arcades share a common starting point above, below the bandstand. The framework of the arcades consists of arches and individual longitudinal beams made of formed sheet metal, extended by wooden longitudinal beams. The framework is painted entirely green and, together with the linden trees, gives the arcades their natural expression. The arcades are accessible and offer a wonderful atmosphere in sunny weather.

Linderhof Palace and Gardens

Highlight • Castle

In 1869, Ludwig II had a former hunting lodge converted and decorated for his purposes as a "little royal house". In the years that followed, the magnificent castle and the magnificent garden were built, which invite you to dream.

The grand finale of the terraced complex is a round Greek temple containing a larger-than-life marble figure of Venus flanked by two cupids. In earlier plans, this location was intended for a theater building.

Hunding Hut, Linderhof

Highlight • Monument

The building, originally erected at the foot of the Kreuzspitze in 1876, was modeled on Hunding's dwelling in the first act of the opera "Walküre" from the "Ring des Nibelungen". The Hundinghütte was destroyed by fire in 1884, and was rebuilt a few months later in the same place and in the same form. In 1945 the building caught fire again. A replica was built in 1990 in the Linderhof Palace Park.

On the way home we of course had to take Linderhof Palace with its beautiful park, the only (and smallest) of King Ludwig's third palaces that was completed. Very worthwhile, also the guided tour through the castle (photography prohibited). The park is even free. The grotto, which was illuminated electrically and in color at the end of the century before …

Visited Linderhof Palace today. Our King Ludwig II was a very special bird. If you are in the area, you should definitely take a look at the park with the castle. It's really worth a visit.

Thank goodness Ludwig II was somewhat decadent and had a strong penchant for exaggeration, otherwise we wouldn't be able to admire such magnificent buildings today 😃 We completed the trio today (Herrenchiemsee 2019 / Neuschwanstein 2023 / Linderhof 2025). The palace and the park blend beautifully into the mountain landscape. The Venus Grotto, closed for years for restoration, is now …

Impressive-you should see it, very beautiful park, well organized tours

Who's bothered by a little drizzle? Judging by the paid parking (€3), hardly anyone was there. Nevertheless, the park was fairly empty; there was nobody between the Moorish Kiosk and the Hunding Hut, and even beyond that, up to the Temple of Venus. They were all on the palace tour, which I could have skipped today, as I had already …
