trek challenge
trek to the oberammergau passion play
CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO BOOK Roam with us through ancient countryside, medieval towns and the breath-taking Bavarian Alps to the once-adecade Passion Play at Oberammergau. Lacing up our boots in Munich, we’ll follow a stretch of the Way of St James leading to the Camino de Santiago and wind alongside rivers, through rolling fields and lush forest, into biscuit-tin villages and tiny hamlets that give us a feel for the local lifestyle. At the breath-taking Walchensee Lake, we veer off the path of the pilgrimage and hike across a chain of mountain passes through the heart of the Bavarian Alps. Exquisite vistas of the surrounding mountains and the patchwork fields below accompany us until we reach the unforgettable finishing point of Oberammergau. Here, we have a chance to experience the once-a-decade Oberammergau Passion Play. This immersive, eight-hour performance dates back to 1633, when the Bubonic Plague descended on the town. The locals vowed that if God spared their lives, they would re-enact the story of Christ every ten years. Miraculously, the plague killed no others after this promise was made and so the tradition began.
