On this two tiered coach holiday, centred around the world famous Oberammergau Passion Play, we see some of Austria and Germany’s most famous sights and cities. In Germany, we enjoy time in Cologne, pay a visit to the picturesque Rhine Valley and witness the beautiful Old Town and castle of Heidelberg. After a few days seeing the stunning sights, we head to Oberammergau, where we experience an evening filled with emotion at the Oberammergau Passion Play. After a moving evening, we leave Germany and head for the splendours of Austria. Enjoy time in Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol and see the ‘Sound of Music’ city of Salzburg. Before we return home, we offer guests the opportunity to visit some of the most scenic sights in Austria, as we journey along the Alpenstrasse to Lake Achensee.
