From the port to Herreninsel island takes about 15 mins and to the King Ludwig's palace takes another 20 minutes walk.

But, make sure you buy your ticket at the information center when you arrive at Herreninsel island's pier. As this signboard says, tickets for the palace are only available there!!

There is a horse-and-cart connection from near the information center to the palace.
I took a relaxing ride through the forest. The pace was very slow and as soon as we went into the forest, swarms of mosquitoes attacked us! While on the short journey to the palace, I was constantly harassed by the mosquitoes!!

On our ride through the forest, with the swarms of mosquitoes, the beautiful palace appeared beyond a huge garden.

The horse-and-cart takes you just in front of the Palace. If you can suffer mosquito attack, it is a convenient way to get to the palace. I'll never take that ride again!

King Ludwig loved Palace of Versailles, so this palace was modeled on Palace of Versailles. Fountains in the front garden are also close replicas of those at Palace of Versailles.

The inside of the palace can only be visited as part of a guided tour.

Unfortunately photography is forbidden inside the building!
I'll show you these photos from its postcards! This gorgeous palace was built between 1878 and 1886, by order of Ludwig, King of Bavaria since 1864. But he passed away in 1886 and all construction works discontinued. Therefore, 50 of the 70 rooms are still unfinished. You can also get to visit some of the unfinshed rooms.
Surprisingly, though Ludwig spent a large amount of money to build this palace, he only had the opportunity to stay at the palace for a few days before his death!
