The Wittelsbach Trail: A Private Tour of Munich's Royal History
The Wittelsbach Trail: A Private Tour of Munich's Royal History
The Wittelsbach Trail: A Private Tour of Munich's Royal History
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
In 1180 the Emperor Barbarossa appointed his loyal vassal Otto Wittelsbach as the new duke of Bavaria. Otto would be the first of a dynasty that would rule until their downfall in the aftermath of world war one in 1918. With 738 years in power the Wittelsbach legacy is immense. Indeed, almost everything Bavaria is famous for: art, religion, lederhosen, beer and the okotoberfest, is due to the Wittelsbachs and the choices they made.
However nowhere would they leave a greater impression than in their own capital of Munich and on your tour you will follow in their footsteps through the churches, casltes, breweries and palaces they built as you learn about the individuals who ruled, from battle hardened medieval dukes to the art collecting, scandel ridden 19th century kings. Discover the good, the mad, the bad and the ugly with us and learn about the colourful personalities, shocking stories and rivalries that shaped a land and its people
