In the very south of Bavaria, in the heart of Upper Bavaria, are the six nature park communities of the Ammergau Alps Nature Park.
Bad Bayersoien and Bad Kohlgrub , the two moorland spas for health and well-being, Ettal with its world-famous basilica and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Linderhof Palace , Saulgrub/Altenau/Wurmansau with its unspoiled nature, Unterammergau with its history of whetstone making and above all Oberammergau with its Passion Plays , Lüftlmalerei ( fresco painting) and woodcarving - all together they make the Ammergau Alps unique and incomparable.
Not only the Ammergau Alps themselves, but also the surrounding area is enchanting, with many famous Bavarian sights within easy reach. How about taking the cable car or cogwheel train up the Zugspitze and to Lake Eibsee? Visiting the Wieskirche in the Pfaffenwinkel region? Or a castle tour via Lake Plansee to Neuschwanstein Castle near Füssen? The towns in the Ammer Valley impress with their central location between Munich and Tyrol, the Allgäu region, and the Tölz region.
