I know reading about different places and people is exciting. I love it myself and Fernweh is one of my steady companions. But why always look so far. Personally I try to concentrate on my nearby sourroundings. One of my last posts was about a… Read More

Bavarian Blue
I spent the whole week-end with my family. Because the weather on Sunday was amazing, we decided to do a trip to Ludwig the II. castle “Herrenchiemsee” at the shore of lake “Chiemsee”. It was a beautiful day and you could really realize why Ludwig,… Read More
drottningen av min borg
I went on a beautiful day-trip this saturday. Actually we wanted to visit the Lenbachhaus in Munich, but we came across the beautiful castle of “Schleißheim”.
It’s a baroque building, built during the aera of absolutism and with Neuschwanstein, Herrnchiemsee and Nymphenburg one of Bavarians royal residences. As build to be a pendant to the french castle of Versailles it’s even one of Germany’s most important baroque buildings. And that it is deservedly. Enough history.
Have a look at the picture’s I brought with me for you 🙂
The staircase is absolutely breathtaking.
And look what I found between all the stuck and ornaments…some clothing made by Vivienne Westwood, inspired by baroque design. It fits amazingly in its surrounding.
In case I ever have to host a ball…it will happen right here.
Some more stunning Westwood dresses. I would have loved to put them on just to feel like Marie Antoinette.
Right now there’s an exhibition going on, called “In dialogue with baroque” and just like the Westwood dresses you find artworks spread all over the castle.
I even found an älg;)
After three castles in a row a deserved some rest and the best beer in the whole world! The gardens and all the buildings around the castle are so wide-spread that you can easily spend the day just promenading through the gardens…
Hope you had a great weekend as well!:)
getting ready…
As I live in the south of Germany, this time of the year many traditional markets are going on. It’s all about traditional clothing, food and meeting people. of course having some beer is part of the game as well;) Personally I think there’s hardly a pieces of clothing that can challenge a Dirndl when it comes to fit, style and sexyness- But hey, I’m Bavarian. What else would I say?:)
And like a typical Bavarian, I went to the Barthelmarkt yesterday, had a “Weißwurstfrühstück” this morning and watched the FC-Bayern soccer game. “Mia san mia” is a beautiful thing, at least once a year.
