On the route we drive through the artists’ village Oberammergau. It is known for its facade painting (known as Lüftl-Malerei) and woodcarving. The Passion Plays, which take place there every 10 years, have also become world-famous. They depict the last week of Jesus’ life, from Palm Sunday to Easter.
You’ll take a tour of the town by coach, as this allows you to see much more than a brief stop would.
