Curious Upper Bavaria, Germany

Season 7 Episode 702 | 28m 28s

Christine gets curious about Upper Bavaria, Linderhof Palace, Mittenwald and Munich. She explores the history of 'Mad' King Ludwig and his many castles, the Lohengrin swan knight legend, the legacy of the Wittelsbach Dynasty, the storybook village of Mittenwald, and the Bavarian tradition of lüftlmalerei mural art, and how it continues in some very modern and very curious ways.
