http://www.chiemsee.de click on "Englisch" to get an english translation. Chiemsee is an amazing lake in Bavaria, with islands...
I've rented a place on Frauen Insel (Island) before....and love it
Chiemsee Islands
Herrenchiemsee (Men's Island)
The castle on the Men's Island is one of the biggest tourist attractions in upper Bavaria. In 1873 Ludwig II acquired the island and erected a pompous castle modelled after Versailles. He revered the French Sun-King and created with this castle, a monument to absolute monarchy. It serves less as living quarters, and more as a symbolic spreading of his fame. After his death in 1885 the building was left unfinished.
Frauenchiemsee (Women's Island) ƒnƒn
The Women's Island is a frequently-visited jewelpiece in our Chiemsee. Just have a walk around the island and visit the picturesque fisher village. The Island looks back on a long history:
Torhalle Frauenchiemsee (Frauenchiemsee Gatehouse) with frescos stemming from the late Carolingian period (around 860); Michael¡¦s chapel with exhibits, arts and crafts from the Carolingian period (originals and replicas), vicar¡¦s house with seasonal painting exhibitions, various Chiemsee artists.
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
