15 ALFA ROMEO

Alfa Romeo is the automobile that so many enthusiasts claim to be the Italian car. The brand name, with Milan as its trademark and the Visconti dragon in its emblem, was founded in 1910 and symbolizes sporty vehicles with its sophisticated design. Anyone who wants to live a 1950s travel experience on the magical streets of Italy has definitely made the right choice in selecting an Alfa Romeo. The Giulietta Spider is part of the Italian lifestyle. In the 60s it was associated with the aura of Alfa Romeo’s successful racing cars at the time between the wars. Alfa Romeo swiftly conquered the American market with their two-seater convertible and won a fan base that has lasted until today.

35 MERCEDES-BENZ

More than 60 years ago, the inventor of the motor car put everything that a sports car legend requires into the SL model: unique character, lots of charm and incredible motorisation. It was originally engineered for high performance motor sport, but over the years it was domesticated for everyday roads suitable for general use. The Mercedes Benz SL has its roots in motor sports. The abbreviation SL stands for sportlich leicht in German and means sporty and light. In 1954, the 300 SL celebrated exceptional success on the asphalt and had early on earned a notable number of fans. It was called the "Gullwing" because its doors opened outwards and upwards. Even today this dream machine fetches high sums among admirers. Two SL successor generations can be driven at Nostalgic.

KING LUDWIG TOUR

Day 1: Neuschwanstein: Knights & Legends This two-day tour begins in Munich and will take you from the Starnberg Lake and then on to Hohenschwangau, where you will see Neuschwanstein Castle, probably the most famous of the royal castles of Bavaria. You will then approach the impressive fairytale castle on foot along the path from the bottom of the castle hill. Neuschwanstein was planned by Ludwig II as an accessible stage setting and private residence. The castle merely provided space for the king and his servants, not for the royal household. His passion for the world of legend and the music of Richard Wagner are the reasons why Neuschwanstein was constructed and almost all the rooms include backdrops depicting Lohengrin and Tannhäuser. You will then travel on to Linderhof Palace. This comparatively small Rococo jewel is the only one of the buildings which Fairytale King Ludwig II completed and inha- bited. Your journey for the day will take you past Kochel am See and Benediktbeu- ern. Heading further eastwards, you will then arrive at Bad Tölz, where you will continue your journey past the Tegernsee and Schliersee.
