OBERAMMERGAU AND ITS PASSION PLAY 1910 KARTONIE...

The village of Oberammergau (1700 inhabitants) occupies a considerable portion of the valley in
which it lies and its situation gives it the character of a real mountain village. It is shut
in on the west  south and east by partially wooded heights. In the south  towers the striking
form of the Kofel (4403 ft.)  which with its precipitous sides is  to a certain extent  the
distinctive feature of Oberammergau. On the summit of this bold jagged mountain peak  there is
a cross 50 ft. high  overlaid with tin-plate  the glitter of which can be seen from a long
distance. As early as the end of the 16th century  a huge wooden statue of a knight stood in
this place  given by a Nürnberg merchant  still further south  is the massive mountain peak 
the Not (6200 ft.) while to the south-east  the Labergebirge  with the Ettaler Mannl (5262 ft.)
rise. In the east the Lainetal forms a deep indentation in the mountain chain  which is
continued to the north east of Oberammergau by the Aufacker (5059 ft.)  to the north by the
Hoernle (5082 ft.). The western termination of the valley is formed by the slopes of the
Stoeckelberg with the Kolben a spur of the Sonnenberg  the culminating point of which  the Zahn
(5971 ft.)  is invisible from the village. This reprint is a guide to the famous Passion Play
in Oberammergau from the year 1910. It describes the play itself  different Bavarian cities
like Munich including historic routes from Munich to Oberammergau and of course the famous town
of Oberammergau in the Alps itself.
