Mountain guesthouse Bleckenau (1,167 m) The Hunting Lodge of King Ludwig II.
Behind the fairytale castle Neuschwanstein lies the hunting lodge of King Ludwig II. in a beautiful landscape. Around 1850 King Maximilian II had the “Schweizerhaus” built there for his wife Marie – today’s mountain inn Bleckenau. On the meadows one finds the origin of the name: “Blecken”. It is the old Bavarian name for coltsfoot plants, which are represented in the “Blecken-Aue” in summer with particularly impressive specimens.
