In a nutshell
Great city to visit any time.
Donna_in_India Says: After having lunch in town we continued walking around admiring the beautiful painted buildings when we happened upon the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It is one of the main churches in Oberammergau and from the outside was very plain looking but inside was just a gem....
BruceDunning Says: It is close to Oberammergau and has 50 practicing monks here. It was founded in 1330, but did not hits its fame until 1709 when it became a Knight Academy. The complex burned in 1744, and was then rebuilt in Baroque style
balhannah Says: Oberammeragau is another one of those delightful Bavarian villages with homes covered in beautiful frescoes [Luftlmalerei.] No need really to pick up a map, I didn't, I just went walking and found plenty of them. Quite a few have religious themes, but no wonder!...This is...
balhannah Says: Walking around the main centre of Oberammergau, I came across this beautiful Copper fountain.On a closer look, the fountain is depicting death, disease and suffering from the Plague.There are many fountains and monuments around Europe about the plague, this is one of them!
St Peter and Paul parish church
mvtouring Says: This church dates back to the 18th century and was designed by Joseph Schmuzer. The foundations were laid on the 21st May 1737 and all went well with the building until 1741 when the locals refused to work without pay.
mvtouring Says: The Passion stage is one of the largest open air stages in the world. The original text of the play stems from more than one source and has been altered several times in the course of its 350 year history. The staging of the play has changed very little since the 1920's. The...
mvtouring Says: The theme for this house was Little Red Riding hood. It is absolutely fantastic to see how fantastic it is painted.
mvtouring Says: Visiting the museum you will see 350 years of local art in one building. Some of the pieces leave you breathless and you cannot believe the fine detail that went into the pieces. Obviously done with great love and care. Do not miss the crib collection which is absolutely...

This is a favorite place with the locals and you will find locals and tourist here almost everynight.
The food offered here is traditional local and is very very good as well as being cheap.
Most eat early so if you show up about 1930 (7:30pm) you should be able to get a table.
Favorite Dish: The soup was real good here and the bread was nice and warm.

mvtouring Says: Leaving Oberammergau we used the train as we were going to Memmingen. We had to change trains in Munich, but it was very easy to do that. Good website to use for train times is www.bahn.de. It is also a good idea to purchase you tickets online a few days before your trip as...
mvtouring Says: We used the RVE bus to get to Oberammergau from Garmish. A very nice ride through some scenic countryside.
Christkindlmarkt: Xmas Decortions
balhannah Says: What a wonderful Xmas shop this was! First, I looked in the prettily decorated windows, and thought they were nicely set out, then I went into the shop.This shop is amazing, it is absolutely stocked full with xmas decorations of all kinds plus some other giftware. I didn't...
balhannah Says: In Oberammergau there are lots of shops selling wood carvings. Good competition and plenty to choose from, including Nativity sets, Madonna's, Crucifixes, many types of household necessities, I guess anything that can be made from wood.Wood carving in Oberammergau, goes back...
mvtouring Says: I love these shops as you can always find something very special there to take home for a loved one that could not be with you on the trip or even for yourself.

Please pick up your trash.
There are steep fines if you do not and the country side will look so much better if you do.

There are Christmas decorations everywhere in Oberammergau and it looks like every single store has some sort of Christmas decoration for sale in it. After a while you just cannot look at another decoration and each decoration looks just like the next one. Although it is nice to have a feel of Christmas in the summer time.
Unique Suggestions: Watch out for the decorations that are made in China and only buy the ones made in Germany.
Fun Alternatives: The ones made in China can be found anywhere in the world so why pay the big price for getting it in Oberammergau?
Buy them someplace else.

There are plenty of trails to go hiking and biking on around the area.
Try renting a bike and riding down the main road along the river. There is alot of wild life to see along the river and many nice places to take a picnic.

TinKan Says: This area of Germany is known for its hiking and biking trails and it's fresh air so get out to see it when you visit Oberammergau.You will find many locals walking in the forest and riding down the bike trails all year round. The forest here is so clean and it is always a...
TinKan Says: You will find some of the nicest cooko clocks in southern Germany in the local shops which are priced about half of what you will find them for in America. We liked the smallness of the town and all of the christmas shops that were there.
