Geographically, Ohlstadt lies at the foot of the Bavarian Alps and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The region is characterised by its lush meadows and green hills, as well as majestic views of the snow-capped peaks of the mountains. The village itself is a charming little gem with traditional wooden houses and cobbled streets.

One of the most famous sights in Ohlstadt is Linderhof Castle, a magnificent royal residence of King Ludwig II, which is just a few kilometres away. Another highlight is the Ettal Abbey Church as well as Andechs Monastery - both offer impressive architecture and works of art.

Cultural highlights are also available in Ohlstadt: for example, visit the local history museum or enjoy classical music at a concert in the Oberammergau Kurhaus.

When it comes to culinary delights, be sure to try a typical Bavarian pork roast or have a beer in a cosy brewery.

The best season for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling is during the summer (June to August). There are many routes to choose from - including some challenging mountain walks. For water sports lovers, the nearby Staffelsee is a must.

If it rains, you can settle down in a cosy café or spend a day at the WellenBerg leisure pool.

Overall, Ohlstadt is definitely worth a visit and offers something for everyone - from culture to outdoor activities. Visit this charming town and experience the beauty of Bavaria up close!
