Day 5: Oberammergau





The second stop on this day trip was in the Bavarian town of Oberammergau (quite a month full) It is mostly famous for its woodcarvings and the Passion play it hosts every 10 years. The passion play was dedicated to God after the city was spared during the plague. To participate in the play, you must be a citizen of the town and most citizens take off work for a year to devote themselves to the production of the play. The play was starting the Saturday after we visited!
