We arrived this afternoon after visiting the memorial chapel for Ludwig II on the Starnbergersee.

It was a nightmare getting to the hotel, because several of the main roads were closed for an ecological/pedestrian friendly thing called Street Life -- yes, in English.

It was amazing to see this grand boulevard -- Ludwigstrasse -- free of cars:

OK, it's not totally free of cars in the picture, but that's people cleaning up and an ambulance.
