Oberammergau

Oberammergau is a village in the Bavarian Alps, known for its woodcarvings and the famous Passion Play, which has been performed every ten years since 1634. The village has a long tradition of woodcarving, and the Bavarian State Woodcarving School is located there. The Passion Play is a major event that involves over 2,000 actors, singers, instrumentalists, and technicians, all of whom are residents of the village. The play is performed in years ending with a zero and has a significant economic impact on the village. Oberammergau is also a popular tourist destination, with many hotels and guesthouses, and is a good base for exploring the surrounding mountains and scenic countryside
