In a plea to God to be saved from the Bubonic Plague, the citizens of Oberammergau pledged to perform a Passion Play if the town was protected. After no one fell ill, the town maintained their promise. Every 10 years, this tiny Bavarian hamlet expresses their gratitude by performing a Passion Play – a re-enactment of the last days of the life of Jesus Christ. First held in 1634, the play is now performed every year ending in zero. Only the residents of Oberammergau act in the play and the dialogue is performed in German. Almost half of the villagers took part in the last production in 2010, involving more than 2,000 performers, musicians, and stage technicians. This once-in-a-decade event is anticipated to attract more than 750,000 guests.
Highlights: Experience the epic Passion Play! Presented once every 10 years since 1634! Church of Weis, Neuschwanstein Castle, Black Forest, Chateau de Chillon, Lake Geneva, train ride aboard the Matterhorn Gottard Bahn from Tasch to pedestrian village of Zermatt, Matterhorn Museum, Grimsel Pass, walking tour in Lucerne.
