Oberammergau & the Ammer Valley, Germany

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Oberammergau is a small Bavarian village nestled in the Ammer Valley in the foothills of the German Alps, close to the Austrian border. It is world-famous for its Passion Play, a theatrical retelling of the last days of Christ performed by local residents every ten years since 1634, drawing visitors from across the globe. The region is equally celebrated for its centuries-old tradition of woodcarving, its ornately frescoed buildings in the Lüftlmalerei style, and its proximity to Linderhof Palace — one of King Ludwig II's fairy-tale retreats. Outdoors, the surrounding Ammer Valley offers hiking, cycling, and skiing against a dramatic Alpine backdrop.

Self-Launched Walking in Southern Bavaria

A self-launched 8-day walking week based in picture-perfect Oberammergau, in the Bavarian Alps foothills. Using the region's excellent and free-to-you (with the local Guest Card) buses and little red trains, you'll hike the Ammer Valley's farming villages and bird-rich fens, ride the Laber cable car for Zugspitze panoramas, walk the Staffelsee shoreline, take the Kolben chairlift to the Sonnenberg ridge waterfalls, and wander the Linder Valley beneath Mad King Ludwig's rococo Linderhof Palace. Stay in a family-run guesthouse, eat Kaffee und Kuchen like a local, and manage your own level 1/level 2 walk choices each day — all for a fraction of the guided operator price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Oberammergau & the Ammer Valley, Germany yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
