Day Trip:Schloss Linderhoff and Ettal Monastery
Here are a few family-friendly hints and tips for my fellow mummies (and daddies) who want to take their family to Schloss Linderhof and Ettal Monestary.
My family, plus two friends, went there in December 2010.

Schloss Linderhof
http://www.schlosslinderhof.de/englisch/tourist/howtoget.htm
Linderhof 12, D-82488
Plenty of car parking is available at the Schloss Linderhof (a few Euros).
The visit of this palace is only via a guided tour (booked at the ticket office near the car park).
No strollers or prams are allowed in the palace (no secure storage for them either. You just park them outside the entrance to the palace) so do remember a baby carrier/sling or walking harness for your toddlers.
Bulky items are not allowed in the palace either (although we were allowed to take in Tristan's changing bag). According to their website, lockers are available near the ticker office.

A ten minute drive away is....
Ettal Monastery
http://www.kloster-ettal.de/
Kaiser-Ludwig-Platz 1, D-82488
Several car parks are available in the small town of Ettal near to the monastery for a few Euros.
You can visit the monastery for free by entering the main entrance (via steps). Prams/strollers are welcome.
There is also a brewery and distillery on-site too (additional charge).

Over the road from the Monastery is this delightful German restaurant
Ludwig Der Bayer

They had a couple of high-chairs, and a small number of children's meals on their menu.
We enjoyed a lovely meal, including Spatzle (cheesy pasta), venison stew and veal schnitzel.

A five-minute drive away is...
The Alpine Cheese Factory and Café
http://www.milch-und-kas.de/
Mandlweg 1, D-82488
Perfect stopping place for a warming hot chocolate and a slice of home-made cheesecake, made with fresh (and local) cream cheese. And before you leave, purchase a chunk of locally made Ettaler Klosterkase, which is made by the monks at the monastery. Delicious!
Guided tours of the factory need to be made in advance (details on their website), but you can see the factory production line from windows in the café.
They have their own car park, and the café is stroller friendly (I do not know if the guided tour of the factory will allow strollers).
