The dream of flying...

As a child I dreamed of flying. A lot of years later I was able to fulfill this dream and to fly with a hot air ballon. It was a wonderful trip over the Swabian Alb in the middle of a golden autumn...

"Schloss Linderhof" (Bavaria)

Situated near the border to Austria King Ludwig II. of Bavaria built a dream castle. The construction works started in 1869 and ended in 1886. The Castle is really impressive with it´s perfect embedding into the landscapes around.There is a huge park around with many golden and "kitschy" statues and pavilions. King Ludwig II. liked such things because he had some more castles like Linderhof ( for example Neuschwanstein).
