Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
The magnificent views of Oberammergau from this point are truly fit for a king.
Continue along the "Grottenweg" to the Döttenbichl, which has witnessed two major cultural movements. On one side, Celtic brooches, keys and tools have been found. These may have been fire sacrifice objects from a small site which was once located here. This sacrificial site indicates that the Ammer Valley was farmed long before the Roman conquest.
On the other side, coins, daggers, arrow tips and shoe nails from Roman soldiers have been discovered. The catapult arrow tips bear the stamp of the 19th Legion, which suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Varus in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 BC.
Returning to the village, you pass the cemetery and tennis court to cross the Ammer once more. Return to your starting point via the main street and through the historic centre of Oberammergau.
