Main information:
Things to know about your visit
Current information
Very high visitor numbers at present
With the reopening of the Venus Grotto, the number of visitors to Linderhof has increased significantly. Please therefore expect longer waiting times at the car park and ticket offices (up to 1 hour around lunchtime), especially during the holidays, on public holidays and at weekends.
Ascent on the way to the Venus Grotto
Please note that you have to cover several metres in altitude on steep paths (up to 20% gradient) between the objects in the castle park. The Venus Grotto, for example, is 50 metres above the palace. Depending on your physical condition, this can be very strenuous, especially on hot days.
Renovation of the Moorish Kiosk
Due to extensive renovation work, the Moorish Kiosk in the palace park is unfortunately closed until further notice.
Approach: Roadworks in autumn 2025
25–31 August 2025: Half-side closure of the B23 at Ettaler Berg (with traffic lights)
1–12 September 2025: Full closure of the B23 at Ettaler Berg between Oberau and Ettal
(alternative route via Murnau, Bad Kohlgrub, Oberammergau)
29 September–24 October 2025: Half-side closure of the B23 at Ettaler Berg (with traffic lights)
Great joy at the Bavarian Palace Administration

Photography and filming
Taking pictures or filming is unfortunately not allowed in the palace, in the Venus Grotto, in the Royal Lodge and in the King's House on Schachen.
Photo and film shoots are basically subject to approval and charges. Here you will find information on photography permits / film permits. Taking pictures of the outside of the buildings for private use does not require a permit.
The Linderhof Palace complex is part of the Ammergebirge Nature Reserve: the flying of model planes and drones / multicopters is therefore prohibited.
We also provide you with image and film material that you may use free of charge on your own website under certain conditions; click here to download image material or download footage.
Wi-Fi
Free Wi-Fi is available from Linderhof Palace to the Water Parterre to the Terrace Gardens, in front of the Venus Grotto and in the ticket office area.
Bulky items
Bulky items may not be taken into the palace. Lockers are available opposite the Schlosshotel for large bags, rucksacks, photo equipment etc. A number of lockers for smaller items you can find near the toilets at the palace.

No liability can be accepted for items deposited in lockers or at the entrance.
