Wood sculpture
The roots of wood carving in the Ammertal lie in the 12th century. 400 years later, the wooden works, from figures of saints to children's toys and crucifixes, were already being sold throughout Europe. Guests can immerse themselves in the history of the ancient craft in the Oberammergau Museum. If you then walk through Oberammergau, you will also find local carvings in the workshops and shops - sometimes traditional, sometimes modern. The carving craft is also represented in the other places in the Ammertal. Many of the artisans were trained in the Oberammergau wood sculpture school.
