Description
Picturesque village of Wamberg near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany:
At about 1,000 metres above sea level: That’s where you’ll find Wamberg, one of the highest-located church villages of Germany with only about 30 inhabitants. Up there, time seems to have stopped. Traditional rustic architecture and nature wherever you look. Soothing peace and quiet surrounds you and the view of the Wetterstein mountain range with the Alpspitze and Zugspitze mountains is simply breathtaking. In summer and in winter, the quaint village with plenty of Bavarian charm is a great place to relax.
The farms from the 18th and 19th century underline the traditional character of the village. The church of St. Anna with its art-historically important high altar – a work of sculptor Andreas Onich – is well worth a visit, too. The high altar piece shows a rendition of the popular subject of “Virgin and Child with Saint Anne” – a Christian iconography of Saint Anne, her daughter Mary and her grandson Jesus.
