Oberammergau

World famous for its Passion Play held every 10 years, Oberammergau offers classic Bavarian hospitality, numerous wood carving shops and much more.

A beautiful traditional Alpine village situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, meadows and forests, Oberammergau is a quiet and peaceful haven. Admire the painted houses, so typical for this region. Wherever you wander in the village there is something worth exploring, whether it's the woodcarvers' workshop, the many secluded corners with religious carvings and paintings, or one of the local restaurants offering the finest regional cuisine.

Oberammergau is surrounded by a network of well-signposted hiking paths; you can hire bicycles and cycle to nearby lakes or visit the 'WellenBerg', the local leisure swimming pool complex with indoor and 3 outdoor pools and a fantastic view over the valley. Oberammergau, situated near to the Alpine Road is an ideal place to base yourself on a motoring or car hire holiday.
