Linderhof is one of Ludwig's smaller castles. In fact, it's only one floor (if you don't count the basement level, where the kitchen and servants' quarters were). Ludwig had a thing for all things French so he modeled his castle on Versailles, complete with a hall of mirrors, formal gardens, a grotto, and a "play house".
Off in the distance here you can see what I think is Hohenschwangau. We were on our way down the hill to Neuschwanstein so it must be the other castle. What's most striking to me in this picture is the color of the lake. We had an absolutely gorgeous day for this outing.

Janie and I were impressed by the blue color of the lakes in that area when we were there.The Germans must do a great job of controlling water pollution -- except in the Danube.
