Description: Oberammergau, a municipality with 5000 inhabitants about 100 km south of Munich in the foothills of the Alps, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bavaria. In recent years, this has increasingly been the case for foreign tourists from North America, Japan and China. The village looks like a Bavarian museum in large parts. Oberammergau is worth a visit for three different reasons at once: It is world-famous for its woodcarvers and wood carvings. In addition, the facades of many houses are painted ? in the style of Bavarian Lüftlmalerei, a great sight. Last but not least the visitors come because of the Passion Play Theatre, where every 10 years the world famous gigantic Oberammergau Passion Plays take place. Among connoisseurs the traditional wood carvings from Oberammergau are world famous. Above all Christian motives are represented. There are over 100 wood carvers in Oberammergau. The products can be purchased in dozens of shops. Unfortunately, the carvings are not quite cheap, as they are of course without exception genuine handicrafts, which are produced in one of the richest areas of Germany.
