What to expect
Lüftlmalerei is a form of mural art native to southern Germany and Austria, especially in Upper Bavaria. The murals, also known as Lüftlmalerei, are a popular, folk-oriented variation of trompe-l'œil from the Baroque period and imitate architectural elements. They can be found on the facades of houses and buildings in villages and towns, depicting scenes from the Bible, the lives of saints, and everyday rural life. Visitors can admire these beautiful murals while walking through the streets of Oberammergau and other nearby towns, such as Mittenwald and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The murals are not only aesthetically pleasing but also tell stories and convey the history and culture of the region

Activities: We looked at the houses with Lüftlmalerei. The old Forsthaus with its facade, the Dedlerhaus, the Hänsel and Gretel House, and the Little Red Riding Hood House. The paintings tell stories in detail
Highlights: The paintings on the facades can be immersed in. They tell whole stories, in some cases, and that is full of details. The kids found the Hänsel- und Gretel-Haus and the Rotkäppchen-Haus more interesting ✨
