Top 5 Free Things to do in Oberammergau, Bavaria
If you’re visiting Oberammergau in a year ending with zero, it’s all about the Passion Play. Villagers have performed it since the 17th century. It’s seven hours long (thankfully, with an intermission), and about half the townspeople participate in 100+ performances between May and October. And since hundreds of thousands are expected to attend over the course of those performances, if you’re in town, you’ll have company.

I visited this church on a rainy day in June.After passing through a grave yard a very old handcrafted door opens into the church.This is a Catholic Church,beautiful Wal paintings with a cupola painted and a Chrystal chandelier hanging down on a long chain.The seats are made of pine and you can tell they have been used for centuries.The altar is decorated in gold and silver and you can tell this is a very rich church.A very nice organ oversees the church and it powerful sound is nice to listen too.It is well worth it to take some time to visit this gem.

Lovely house with spectacular outside paintings on the walls. It sits in a nice garden, so with the setting probably this is one of the prittiest painted buildings in the town. If your are in Oberammeragau, do not miss it - it in just in center of town.

Amazing panoramic views of the town and surrounding areas. The hike to the summit is not for the faint of heart, but worth the effort. If you love alpine hiking, you will not be dissapointed.

Was looking for nativity and Toni Bauer did not disappoint. Nice people who took time to explain the different styles, production methods and sizes. It's easy to be overwhelmed at the selection - don't be afraid to ask for help and advice, the folks working their are approachable and friendly. The front of the shop is filled with both religious and traditional Bavarian themes. Items ranges from inexpensive carved walking sticks and bird houses to hand carved and hand painted works of art. The shop can ship purchases directly home as well. I was really struck by how friendly the individuals were -- they went above and beyond. A great place to start a collection to be passed down for generations.
