Welcome to Alpenwelt Karwendel! These two mountain bikers have had a good laugh. They are returning from a break at Vereiner Alm. In the deep south of Germany, at the border with Austria, a pleasant valley with undula- ting meadows, lakes and streams extends between rocky peaks, forested mountain flanks and hills. Alpenwelt Karwendel with the three Upper Bavarian municipalities of Mittenwald, Krün and Wallgau is surrounded by four mountain massifs: the Karwendel mountains and the Soiern group to the East, the Ester mountains to the North and the Wetterstein mountains to the South-West. Because of this, the region is the ideal starting point for all kinds of mountain bike and cycling tours. If you like to take it easy, you can linger in the valley between the flower meadows, lakes and the expansive river landscape of the Isar with its shingle and gravel banks. If you prefer the forested foothills, explore the Ester mountains and the Soiern group with their shady forest roads and single trails.

  • Oberammergau Guide

Of course, we could not possibly have discovered the area in its entirety. There are still many hidden treasures to be found. Our Canadian community is also a great resource for information on living in Germany. Common German words and phrases are included to help you find your way around a little easier. Many tips are provided about daily living in Germany. This guide is current as of May, 2019. Hopefully, with a little guidance, you will feel more comfortable as you settle into your new life here in the beautiful Ammergauer Alpen. As the Germans say, Willkommen! Oberammergau, with a population of just over 5,400, lies 840 metres (or 2,750 feet) above sea-level, in the valley between the 1342 metre-high Kofel Mountain and the 1682 metre-high Laber Mountain. It is world-renowned for the Passion Play, which is held every 10 years dating back to 1633, when the village feared devastation by the plague. The village fathers, driven by desperation, took an oath that they would stage a performance of the Passion of Christ every decade if the plague vanished. As the story goes, the village was spared and in 1634 the villagers began to stage the play. The specially built Passion Play Theatre can hold 4,800 visitors for the six-hour spectacular event.

  • Double the Reasons to Visit This Fine Bavarian Town
    Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany www.allwaystraveller.com Double the reasons to visit this fine Bavarian town Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a mountain resort in the Bavarian Alps region of southern Germany. It is located close to the Austrian border and has views of Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. This area of Germany is still relatively unknown as a visitor destination, which is surprising because Garmisch- Partenkirchen has a great deal to offer. It is the premier German winter sports resort, with the shaded slopes here making for particularly good snow and fine skiing for those of all abilities. And in spring and summer the area is, if anything, even more alluring for those wanting to walk, hike or cycle through fir lined hillsides and along spectacular mountain paths. For the visitor there are two town centres to explore, with Garmisch a more modern environment and Partenkirchen having retained its historic ambiance. The town also stages two bier festivals with either of these making for an added incentive to visit Ashley Gibbins Managing editor AllWays traveller www.gapa.de Touring this part of Bavaria Garmisch-Partenkirchen also provides an excellent base for touring the many attractions to be founding the area including the magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle.
