Summary

This Tour takes about 5-6 Hours, we see Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Olympic Ski Stadium, the Ludwig Strasse, the oldest street in the area at over 2000 years old, built by the Celts before the Romans invaded. Then we visit the Abbey at Ettal, built in 1330 as an armed Monastery with Knights of the Teutonic Order. We DO NOT visit NEUSCHWANSTEIN!, it is simply too far away, hopefully Linderhof Palace if the COVID restrictions are lifted. Otherwise we will spend more time in a Queue than actually seeing anything. Then we go to the World Famous Oberammergau where the Passion Play is performed every 10 years, it was also the site of a Messerschmitt Jet engine factory after Augsburg was bombed in 1944 during WW2. There is much to see in Oberammergau and I had the privilege to live and work there for 15 years, I even worked here for 3 Passion Plays, 1980, 1984 for the Jubilee Passion Play and 1990. A great Tour with an opportunity to take some great photographs and meet some real woodcarvers- I even had a few Bars in O´gau so I know the locals and traditions very well. See you soon!

About operator:

Hello, I have been living and working in Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen for 40 years, for about 15 years I have been taking tourists on my Tours to the Castles of King Ludwig 2nd, the famous Fairy Tale King who built Neuschwanstein Castle near Füssen. There is a lot of history in this area going back to the Bronze Age, the Celts, Romans, Bavarians and Germanen, Garmisch actually means town of the Germanen(Germans). We start your Tour normally at 09:00 am, this normally gives you time for breakfast and we miss the business traffic, there is lots to see and do here but I try to show you the most interesting and with many photo opportunities. I try to combine your interests into my Tours, If you want to know about the Olympics in 1936, the history of Ettal Monastery, Oberammergau, Linderhof and Neuschwanstein then this is the Tour for you. Or you can´t see another Church, that´s OK too, It´s YOUR Tour! I also do Airport Transfers and trips to European Cities!
