From the train station to the lakeshore: history you can touch

The tour begins at the station where King Ludwig II once waited for his incognito train. Even the first section opens the view on local history, courtly tales, and the special atmosphere of the place. The route continues to Berg and combines shipping, walking, and cultural-historical context into a varied city tour.

Berg Castle, Votive Chapel, and Memorial Cross

On foot, we pass by the house of Fisher Lidl, the Marstall, and Berg Castle to the Votive Chapel and the memorial cross. It was here that Ludwig II was found dead, making this section of the tour one of the most poignant moments of the entire route. The view of the lake and the mountain range gives the historical context an almost cinematic depth.

Insights into life, work, and myth
