The Romantic Road
In September 2024, ADTTS plans a coach trip to Germany to travel along the famed Romantic Road (Romantische Straße). This is a picturesque route of nearly three hundred miles through the forests and mountains of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, passing though attractive medieval towns and villages. It starts in Würzburg and heads south via Schongau to Füssen, near King Ludwig II’s ‘Disney’ Neuschwanstein Castle.
The presentation this evening will describe the genesis of the Road and describe some of the places of interest on the route. It will cover the story of ‘mad’ King Ludwig and his much visited Linderhof Palace (Schloss), Hohenschwangau Castle and Neuschwanstein Castle. The presentation will last around 30 minutes and refreshments will be served.
