Linderhof Palace near Ettal, Ludwig II's smallest palace, impresses with its magnificent interiors featuring stucco, mirrors, wood inlays, and gold decorations, particularly in the Hall of Mirrors and the Moroccan Room. The palace is surrounded by an extensive English-style landscaped garden with terraces, waterfalls, fountains, grottos, pavilions, and statues, which blend harmoniously into the Alpine landscape. Those who wish to explore the palace and its gardens can do so by bike, as cycle paths connect Linderhof Palace with the surrounding region, allowing for a relaxing tour through nature and culture.
