Oberammergau Passion Play & Magical Austria & Germany
On this two-tiered coach holiday, built around the world-famous Oberammergau Passion Play, we take in some of Austria and Germany’s best-known sights and cities.
Our time in Germany brings a visit to Cologne, the vine-covered Rhine Valley, and the handsome Old Town and hilltop castle of Heidelberg. From there we travel on to Oberammergau, where the Passion Play makes for an afternoon and evening filled with emotion.
We then leave Germany for the splendours of Austria, with free time in Innsbruck, capital of the Tyrol, and an excursion to the ‘Sound of Music’ city of Salzburg. Before we return home, there is the opportunity to see some of the country’s finest scenery on a journey along the Alpenstrasse to Lake Achensee – a fitting close to a memorable holiday.
