The Pilatus House has frescoes by Franz Seraph Zwinck. The Kölblhaus has a flat saddle roof and a façade also painted by Zwinck. The Oberammergau Museum exhibits woodc arvings by artists from the region.

Mittenwald


"Geigenbauer & Kraxentroger"

"Geigenbauer & Kraxentroger" means pretty much "Violin maker & historic backpacker"

Mittenwald, surrounded by alpine peaks, is known for its colourfully painted houses and its violin making history. The church of St. Peter and Paul, built in the 18th century, is characterised by colourful frescoes. To the west of the village, forest paths lead past Lautersee and the Laintal waterfall. To the northwest, the Hohe Kranzberg offers hiking trails with beautiful vistas.
