King Ludwig II, the still beloved Bavarian king who built Linderhof, Herrenchiemsee, and Neuschwanstein, was born on 25 August. He is still remembered in this region, and still worthy of a celebration. This evening, the Partenkirchen band marched up the narrow, rocky path to his memorial and played a Serenade in tribute to him. There will be mountain fires tonight in Oberammergau in his honor and bouquets of flowers will be left at his tomb in Munich.
