Oberammergau

Tucked into the Ammer valley in the Bavarian Alps, Oberammergau is a place whose character is shaped by its alpine setting and long woodcarving tradition. The Ammergau Alps rise around the town, while the Ammer runs through its centre on its northward course toward the Ammersee. Oberammergau is internationally known for the Passion Play, performed here since 1634 in fulfilment of a historic plague vow and traditionally staged every ten years. Painted façades, often executed in the regional Lüftlmalerei style, and workshops selling carved religious and decorative objects remain part of the townscape.
