Oberammergau looks like an open air museum with paintings. Don’t misunderstand me, it is a charming little mountain village. Most houses have a wooden roof and the walls are decorated with paintings telling stories of every day life: a farmer sowing his land, family life, a court council, religious stories, wood carving, animals, parties, horseback riding and a farmer’s orchestra.
Oberammergau lijkt wel een open lucht museum voor schilderijen. Begrijp me echter niet verkeerd het is een romantisch klein bergdorpje. De meeste huizen hebben een houten verdiep en de muren zijn allen beschilderd met levensverhalen: een boer die zaait op zijn erf, familie taferelen, een gerechtszitting, religieuze gebeurtenissen, houtbewerking, dieren, feesten, paardrijden en de boerenorkest.

de prachtig beschilderde huizen in deze streek kunnen vele verhalen vertellen. Ze zijn echter ondenkbaar in België en Nederland. Fijne avond Filip en Kristel, Dietmut

It is a lovely town, the paintings are extraordinary too. It reminds me slightly of a town in Michigan, Frankenmuth, that we used to visit a lot. Their style was very Bavarian like, my mother always said, but their buildings looked much like this.
ReplyDeleteIt is a quaint custom and similar to some Swiss villages.
ReplyDeleteheel origineel, en gezellig
ReplyDeleteI see a Cultured Society so different from ours ! There is a big difference between 1st, 2nd world and the 3rd world countries, indeed ! Too bad I have been living in a 3rd world country. In my part of the world, Murals painted on the wall are usually vandalized in a short time, streets are with rubbish everywhere except those foreigner tourist destinations !
ReplyDeletenice picture sharing, i never been to there before..
ReplyDeleteThose buildings do look really lovey and certainly different for me to see.
ReplyDeleteTres pitoresque! Bonne journee :)
ReplyDeleteOberammergau..... I think I have problem pronouncing that :p
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it sure is a beautiful place.
Hi Filip,
ReplyDeleteI love the outdoor cafe concept, I do wish my country here is suitable place for such concept when the weather allowed.
Love the painting of the building. :)
