- Fountain jet every 30 minutes from mid-April to mid-October, shooting up from the pool in front of the palace
About
The only palace King Ludwig II finished sits in an alpine valley, ringed by terraced gardens and a gilded fountain that shoots a jet of water every 30 minutes from spring to fall. Inside, a 25-minute guided tour passes mirror rooms and gold Rococo halls.
In the park, the Venus Grotto is a fake stalactite cave with a shell-shaped boat and colored lights, built as a Wagner opera set.
