Oberammergau is a picturesque municipality located in the Bavarian Alps, known for its rich cultural heritage and distinctive traditions. The town is particularly famous for its Passion Play, a dramatic performance of the life and death of Jesus Christ that has been performed by the townspeople every ten years since 1634. This tradition began as a pledge made by the villagers when their town was spared from the bubonic plague.
Beyond its religious significance, Oberammergau is also renowned for its Lüftlmalerei (facade paintings) - elaborate frescoes adorning many buildings in the town - and its long-standing wood carving tradition. The town's artistic legacy is deeply rooted in its history, with many local craftspeople continuing these traditional arts. The surrounding Alpine landscape provides a stunning backdrop to the town's cultural attractions, making it a significant destination for both cultural and natural heritage.
