Bavaria, The Royal Castles
English language, ca. 65 min., travel - There are many castles in Bavaria,
but only three of them are known as "fairy tale castles": Herrenchiemsee,
Linderhof and Neu Schwanstein. The video also reflects in depth on the complicated
and restless lifestyle of King Ludwig II. It took 17 master woodcarvers more than
4 years to handcarve his bed and in walking distance from this bed he built a
giant rock grotto, complete with a lake, a waterfall, live swans and color-changing
lights. He called it his "Venus Grotto". Every year, at the beginning
of May, he would saddle up and ride on horseback some 60 to 80 miles a day to
pay a visit to his various mountain huts and hunting lodges. Upon arrival at night
he expected to be served a 12 course dinner. He owned the worlds's first vehicle
illuminated by electricity. In addition, he equipped each of his casles with a
mechanical novelty: "The Magical Self-Setting Table". Compared with
other kings, King Ludwig II was rather lovable. While many kings spent enormous
amounts of money on endless wars, Ludwig II spent it on magnificant castles. And
in doing so, he left us a legacy which still excites our imaginations today.
