Oberammergau
& Bavaria's Fairytale Castles Coach Holidays 7 Days
Oberammergau and Bavaria's Fairytale Castles - Itinerary
MONDAY: Depart
from one of our local joining points or take advantage of
our Door to Door service* and connect to your transfer service
to Dover. Here you meet your luxury coach and fellow travellers
then sail to Calais and onwards to our overnight stop hotel
in Belgium.
TUESDAY: We leave Belgium and take a scenic
route through Germany’s Black Forest region
before arriving at our hotel in Reutte just over the
border in Austria for a three night stay. B,D
WEDNESDAY
- FAIRYTALE CASTLES: A day
to discover fairytale castles. Firstly we visit the village
of Hohenschwangau and King Ludwig’s famous castle Neuschwanstein.
Built in the 19th century, this fairytale castle is dramatically
perched on a hilltop with panoramic views over the countryside
and the Royal castle of Hohenschwangau.
(Please note at Neuschwanstein there is a degree of walking
involved as well as a considerable number of steps to climb...
King Ludwig loved his privacy!)
In the afternoon we drive along the Graswang valley to visit
the beautiful castle Linderhof, modelled on the Petit Trianon
at Versailles and lavishly decorated with mirrors, painted
ceilings and gilded cherubs in a mixture of Renaissance
and Baroque styles. B,D
THURSDAY
- INNSBRUCK: We travel
east to Innsbruck, ‘capital’ of the Tirol. Set with a backdrop
of soaring Alpine mountains and fine regal buildings, it
is a major winter sports city, having hosted the winter
Olympics. We visit the internationally renowned Ski jump,
Berg Isel, where you can marvel at the bravery and courage
of the jumpers- it’s even more frightening than it appears
on TV! The Golden Roof is testimony to the time in the 15th
century when Innsbruck was at the centre of European culture
and politics when Emperor Maximilian 1 based his Imperial
Court here. Today you can enjoy its relaxing squares and
vibrant shopping streets. B,D
FRIDAY - OBERAMMERGAU: We leave Austria and travel to Oberammergau
to check into our hotel ahead of the Passion Play. Lunch
is taken at noon before the start of the Passion Play begins
at 2.30pm. After a break for dinner between 5pm and 8pm
the Play ends at 10.30pm. Transfer back to your hotel. B,L,D

arriving at our 4-star overnight hotel in Belgium this evening.
