<p>Good Morning, Gang!</p> <p>Are you ready for today´s steam trip?</p> <p>Today, we will visit a shortline, probably the shortest of all shortlines. It´s the Chiemseebahn (Lake Chiemsee Railway), connecting Prien with the landing at the lake. It´s only a little over a mile long and still runs the equipment from the year it was built. That was in the late 1880´s!</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DdcnuGXPdEo" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Upon arrival at Prien-Stock, we will board the old paddle-wheeler "Ludwig Feßler", which will take us on a cruise to the Herreninsel (Gentlemen´s Island).</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Oz6S6tChRls" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>On the island, we will visit Schloss Herrenchiemsee (Herrenchiemsee Palace), one of Crazy Ludwig 2nd´s Fairy Tale palaces. Crazy Ludwig emptied the state coffers to build a number of beautiful castles and palaces in Bavaria, Neuschwanstein, Herrenchiemsee and Linderhof being the most prominent ones.</p> <p>Herrenchiemsee was modeled after Versailles, but was never finished. After the king´s death by drowning in Lake Starnberg, construction was stopped.</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lONDlTJoGPI" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Enjoy today´s tour!</p>
