Cruxifixion Group
A monument in the Oberammergau Mountains. The monument was a present from King Ludwig II, after witnessing the town's Passion Play in 1870.

DJH Jugendherberge Oberammergau
Backpacking travelers may want to check out. It has 29 rooms, conference rooms, winter sport equipment rental, and you can have breakfast (buffet), lunch (buffet), dinner and packed lunches in the hostel (they will take into consideration the nutritional requirements of different cultures and religions, if such requirements are cleared when the booking takes place). The hostel closes over the winter, so check whether it is open when you plan to go.
A 5-star hotel with restaurants with local food. It has a very nice atmosphere too.
By car
Go south from Munich and take the Autobahn A-95 south to the Ettal exit. From there on the B-23 to Oberammergau.
