King Ludwig via bicycle in wonderland

King Ludwig of course preferred a horse for his excursions, nowadays the bicycle is way more practical but way less romantic. Nevertheless, what a nice idea to tour the castles, forests and lakes on a bicycle and enjoy fresh air and fairy tales.

Tragedy at the lake of Starnberg!

The dream ends in a tragic accident: king Ludwig drowns in the lake. No one can tell whether murder of suicide, a mystery that will probably never be resolved..
