TRAVELS WITH JONES - Part 1
Trip to Schloss Linderhof February 2007
Jim and I went with Jones the dog to Schloss Linderhof (Schloss means Castle in german) which is in the southern German state of Bavaria, close to the city of Garmisch. This castle was one of three beautiful castles built by the "Mad" King Ludwig of Bavaria in the late 1800's before his mysterious death by drowning in near by Lake Starnberg. The other two castles he had built were Schloss Neuschwanstein and Schloss Herrenchiemsee. Neuschwanstein is the most impressive of the three and was used by Disney World as the model for their fairytale Disney Castle at the Disney Worlds. Herrenchiemsee is built on an island in Lake Chiemsee and was constructed in the style of the French Castle of Versailles, just outside of Paris. Unfortunatly, we were there in the winter time and the beautiful gardens were not green and the golden fountains were boarded up for the winter. Also one cannot film the inside of the Castle, but it is very ornate and beautifully decorated. Before we went into the castle, Jones had lots of fun in the river that runs in front of Schloss Linderhof. The wonderfully romantic song in this video is by the french songstress Dalida.
Hi and thank you. Yes, Jones is beautiful, isn't he? He is a great companion and just loves life. He is a perfect cross between a border collie and german shepherd and is two years old.
