Oberammergau trip planner

Nestled in a valley within the Bavarian Alps, Oberammergau is known not only for its famous theater productions, but also for its large selection of dining, shopping, and traditional crafts. Home to what is now known as the Oberammergau Passion Play, a production performed every decade for the past 400 years, the city is host to some of the earliest examples of Christian drama. Despite its small population, around half of which participates in the Passion Play, Oberammergau is a center for regional tourism, drawing thousands of visitors each and every year to its pleasant village streets and mountain panoramas. Its position as the nexus of the art of Bavarian woodcarving makes it all the more important in the area’s history and culture. Quintessentially a mountain town, Oberammergau offers the experiences and energy of a cosmopolitan hotspot.
