Itinerary: From Lake (near ) to the Royal Castles, using a 4* hotel en route. This program is the mainstay of Coaching in Bavaria’s various offerings. Carriages depart every Friday and Saturday at 09.30 am from our farm 30 miles south of Munich, ending every Saturday/Sunday at the castles of Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein at 6.00 pm. Guaranteed departures from mid-May to end-October. Breakfast is included, with lunch and dinner at your own expense. Transfer from, and back to, Munich (hotel, rail-station, airport) on request.

Day before departure of the carriages: Make your own way from Munich (or take advantage of our optional transfer at additional cost) to our first hotel in the vicinity of Lake Starnberg. Relax at the hotel „Kaiserin Elisabeth“ in (not included), named after the Austrian Empress Sissi who spent her holidays from the Vienna Imperial Court here for more than 20 years. Dinner on your own in the lovely dining room.(optional)

Day 1: You are transferred at 09.30 am to the Coaching in Bavaria farm located between Lake Starnberg and Lake Ammersee where you will meet your coachman and guide or, if your drive yourself, you will get familiar with your horses and carriage.

Our little back track is flooded

Departure from the farm is 10.00 am. We drive down to the Ammer Valley, later up to the hills along the river. Lunch-break is in the small farm village of Eberfing at a post inn: no mass tourism, just good Bavarian food. After lunch the carriages drive through open farm land and later through endless forests closer and closer to the mountains. Around 06.00 pm we arrive at the hotel “Metzgerwirt” inside the little town of Bayersoien or at the Parkhotel in Bayersoien. Beautiful hotel, a wonderful view of the mountains, surrounded by moorland and fens. Dinner on your own in the hotel.
