The trip includes pick up & drop off at your hotel/private accommodation, a boat trip and a delicious typical Bavarian lunch (which Bavarians call: Brotzeit) with lake view.
Enjoy an exclusive excursion - without any other participants - on the traces of Ludwig II Otto Friedrich Wilhelm von Wittelsbach, King of Bavaria. The truly royal history tour starts in the morning with pick up at your Munich city hotel or private accommodation. Drinks and snacks will be waiting for you in the comfortable SUV vehicle.
As soon as we have arrived at the beautiful Lake Starnberg, a popular venue for Munich´s rich and famous, we have the option to go on a motorboat tour or explore the lake on pedal boats on our own. Either way, you will get interesting background knowledge about the lake itself and the surrounding area. Fact: Did you know that, until 1962 the lake was called "Würmsee" (Lake Würm)?
After exploring the lake from the water, we will stop at one of the locals´ popular restaurants to enjoy a delicious typical Bavarian lunch with a cool draft beer – and of course stunning lake view!
If you like, you can refresh yourself with a jump into the cool water, either during the waiting time in the restaurant or after you enjoyed the meal. In case, you will decide for a short bathing session and to get yourself wet, please bring your own bathing suit, including towel 😉 Weather permitting.
Strengthened from a sufficient local lunch, we will walk along the lakeside and I will tell a little bit more about the former Bavarian royal house. Our destination is the place, where his majesty King Ludwig II died mysteriously on June 13th, 1886. The official cause of death is suicide by drowning in Lake Starnberg.
Royal fact: Even today there is still a lot of speculation and rumours about the actual death of the "Kini", who is still revered by many Bavarians.
After this informative walk, we will slowly make our way North towards Munich - back to the agreed starting point, or hotel/accommodation!

Zugspitze: Exciting and beautiful view.
The single most important factor in our long-term happiness is the relationships we have with our family. Time with family is time well spent.... read more
If it’s snowing, you can be sure there’ll be a snowball fight. A child playing in the snow is incredibly happy. Nothing brings more joy than playing in the snow and seeing your kids enjoy it.
Our trip to Zugspitze was amazing. Particulary, thanks to our wonderful host, Sepp.
I’m so pleased with the hospitality he showed us. So grateful to receive such warmth. Great conversation and interesting topics. He made us feel completely at home. Thank you, Seppneuroparkinson

The breakfast (served with beer) was... read more delicious. He gave us several recommendations of things to do in Munich after our tour as well as things to do in Salzburg, our next destination. He also brought beer to drink and other drinks on request for people that don't drink beer. He made it clear that he does these tours for fun, and it shows. I can't think of a better way to be introduced to a wonderful city.
