Synopsis
This book is a handy guide to
a little Bavarian town that has
been making world history every
ten years since 1634 with its

great reason to visit the municipality of Oberammergau but
it s not the only one. This appealing guide to the town, its
history, and traditions shows why visitors come for the play
and then stay for the culture. It is filled with stories and
photographs of local inhabitants and their remarkable wood
carvings and intricately painted frescoes. The text features
up to date tourist information as well as fascinating local
history, including the story of how the Plague inspired the
town s first Passion Play performance. Celebrating every
facet of a unique and popular destination, this book is an
ideal souvenir for anyone who has visited Oberammergau,
and a superior reference guide for those wishing to travel to
this remarkable part of the world.
