Did you hike the Partnachklamm while you were there?

Yes, comes next.

From the stadium we went to the Partnachklamm. It is not possible to drive up to the gorge by car, nevertheless a rented car together with a couple of Arab origin drove past us. This could explain the choice of language for this sign, but it was still strange.


I have never seen a street sign in Arabic in Germany before.
Instead of driving, you can walk or take a horse-drawn carriage. Actually, I had promised GF to go there with the carriage, but after 15 minutes of waiting she agreed to walk the way to the entrance. It seems that the area has seen better tourism times.



We saw the couple again, this time without car.

Entrance

The gorge is 700 meters long, you walk on a well paved path. Nevertheless, it is not a promenade, it is already quite wet despite the roofing. But the natural spectacle is very beautiful, even if it can be quite crowded in the gorge.















You go back the same way.



This time there was a carriage ready, which made GF very happy.

Love the Partnachklamm any time of year, especially in the winter.
And having a beer and a snack up top.

This is the TR that just keeps on giving - took me 3 days to get to page 8!

food pics are divine as always. 😀

It must be spectacular in winter as the whole region.

Thanks. But now it's coming to an end. Only one dinner and a few sights.

xooz

One benefit I have gotten from @offerendum trip reports is that the pictures are often good enough that I typically get a good idea as to whether a particular castle, museum, etc. is actually worth a stop.

offerendum

Thanks, that's the idea and makes me happy.

Next we went to the Wieskirche, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The rococo building is always beautiful to look at.


The interior is magnificent.

Oberammergau is best known as the site of the Passion Festival, but it is also a typical Bavarian town. That is why Oberammergau is often used as a photo stop on tours from Munich to Neuschwanstein, and is oriented accordingly. There are several stores of Käthe Wohlfahrt (including a Christmas world), a dealer of Erzgebirge articles. The Erzgebirge is at the other end of Germany, but what the heck. Whether the coarser carvings from the area are also offered there I do not know, I did not go in. The place is quite nice, but also nothing so special that you have to drive long detours.

The parish church of St. Peter and Paul is a fine example of southern German baroque.


Inside, a magnificent interior awaits you with massive frescoes, stuccatures and opulent altars.





They even got a cathacomb saint off.

The Benedictine Abbey of Ettal was our next stop. It is one of the larger monastery complexes in Bavaria.




The monastery church is opulently decorated.

It's time for the final dinner, again at the Summit. The food was again solid, actually like before.

That's it for the travel report. But in 2 weeks we will work on a new one.
