Home on the range

Bavarian King Ludwig II had an unusual ritual for his birthday celebrations: He’d go high into the Alps and lounge about an extravagant Oriental parlour. You can reach his Königshaus am Schachen (King’s House on the Schachen) on a day hike from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. -Kongishaus am Schachen
