On a holiday to Austria and Oberammergau in 2010
The dates 11 – 18 September 2010
Departure Airport: Birmingham
Hotel: Wolfgangseehof Hotel in Strobl
Cost: £1,095 per person + £25 Flight supplement
You can find details of our holiday in the Salzburg & its Lakes Section of the brochure
where we will stay at the Wolfgangseehof hotel.
We shall begin our holiday at Oberammergau where we see the famous Passion Play that is
performed once every ten years in this lovely Alpine Village. We will spend the
first two nights in the village of Oberammergau with freedom to explore the streets, and the shops, and sample the
village atmosphere before watching the Passion Play in the afternoon and evening. We will meet up for lunch in
the village before the play commences at 2-30pm. There is a three hour break commencing at 5-00pm. and dinner will be served
during this interval. The Drama continues after the break and concludes at about 10-30pm. This is the first season that
the play has been performed in the evening and it promises to add to the drama of the actions on the open air stage with theatre
lighting also being used for the very first time. The following morning we will have another opportunity to explore the
village before driving to Strobl for a five night stay. The Passion Play can
be such a powerful experience, it is good to have a few days to reflect and let the impression sink in as we relax in this
beautiful part of Austria.
During our week in the Austrian lake district there will be optional excursions
to Salzburg, a day touring the lake district including a sail and an evening Mozart dinner concert in Salzburg, which promises
to be a highlight of our visit. One day, the hotel will provide a local guide
for an introductory walk and a buffet of traditional Austrian food will be a feature one evening. Our hotel is close to the lake with an easy boat connection to St. Wolfgang and local bus to Salzburg.
