River Ammer

Description
  • The now widely known village of Ober-Ammergau is a little village in the Bavarian Tyrol, about 75 miles southwest of Munich, in the valley of the Ammer, a swift-running, limpid stream which is fed by Alpine snows. Since the completion of the railroad from Munich, travellers usually take this route. The journey of four hours is a constant ascent into the Bavarian Highlands, over an undulating country prettily wooded and well cultivated. The fantastic peaks of the mountains peer like spectres through the gradually dissolving mist, white their lower parts are draped in a blue transparent veil of tremulous haze. Far beneath on the right is spread the wide lake, covered with islands. Its banks are dotted here and there with cottages amid dark wooded hills. Upon one of the islands is a tiny chapel which is said to have been erected by Boniface, the apostle of Germany.
