Warbichl-Hof Oberammergau
Bauernhof/ Ferienhof
On the sunny side in the Passion play town of Oberammergau
Willkommen auf dem Warbichl-Hof, der sonnig inmitten des Naturparks Ammergauer Alpen liegt. Unser traditionsverbundener Ort Oberammergau steht nicht nur für die Passionsspiele, seine Schnitzkunst und die Lüftlmalerei: sondern für ein von Bergen umrahmtes Naturschauspiel. Wir, Annemarie und Klement, Jungbauer Leonhard mit Barbara und Tochter Johanna sowie Markus und Marianne freuen uns auf Sie.
Location & Size
Our farm is still quite young. This is because we moved north from the narrowness of Oberammergau's village center in 1990: as beautiful as our passion play location is - since then we and our guests have enjoyed the wide open spaces and sun-drenched views. If you like, you can go hiking and mountain tours directly from our organic farm or in winter, when there is snow, you can join the cross-country ski trail "Sonnenrunde". Murnau and the Staffelsee, the "Blue Rider" country, are 30 minutes away from the farm, Lake Starnberg about 45 min, Garmisch-Patenkirchen and the Zugspitz area can be reached in about 30 min, the state capital Munich is about a good hour away and Austria and the Plansee also not far.
Our three apartments are mostly furnished with furniture from the local carpenter made of ash wood from the Ammergau mountains. We have furnished them in the alpine style, because we think that fits best in our home. They are of different sizes, all have a balcony with an unearthly beautiful view. Especially the vacation apartment "Heustube", which has been awarded five stars, delights our vacation guests because it has two balconies. But no matter which of the three you choose: the view of Laber, Kofel, over the blooming meadows up to the Bavarian sky makes you want to have an adventure already in the morning. If you like, we will be happy to fill your fridge before arrival: with products from our beautiful region.
Farm experiences
Our main focus is on our most precious asset, nature. For this reason, as an organic farm, we have been farming according to the guidelines of "Naturland" for many years. We breed Murnau-Werdenfelser cattle, which are particularly endangered as a livestock breed, keep them in a species-appropriate manner in the form of suckler cow husbandry. In summer they are with their calves on the blooming pastures, while the young cattle are allowed to spend time on the local Oberammergau communal pasture, where they are gladly visited by our guests.
In addition to the 30 or so cattle, we are also happy about our 40 or so "brown mountain sheep", which, and this is very special, get lambs all year round: much to the delight of our small but also adult guests, because in this way, even during the summer months, a few always stay with us in the barn.
What would a farm be without chickens - you guessed it? Here, too, we are very fond of special breeds: especially the Altsteirer chicken, which, as its name suggests, originally comes from Styria and is very beautiful to look at.
By the way: we welcome families as well as couples, young or old: we do not organize an extra "children's program", because we think nature, animals and surroundings are program enough. What else is there on our farm:
Picking up eggs for breakfast in the henhouse.
Helping with the care of the animals
Swing with climbing frame
Bobbycar and pedal bulldog with trailer
We don't just pay lip service to sustainability
Every day anew we are happy about our blooming meadows, the buzzing, humming and chirping - and that is why the sustainable management of our cultivated landscape plays an essential role for us. We mow our mountain meadows just like our moorland meadows after the flowers have had a chance to seed themselves and use the dried stalks as fodder or bedding in winter. Microorganisms are preserved in this way as well as rare flowers, for example the Siberian sword line.
Winter in Oberammergau
When the winter is kind to us, the peaks all around are covered in snow and the children are racing down our mountain on their sleds - everyone's heart beats faster. Directly next to the farm cross-country skiers enter the cross-country ski trail, those who prefer alpine skiing, it is not far to our Oberammergau ski area "Kolbensattel" or the "Steckenbergliften". Also "Garmisch-Classic" as well as the "Zugspitz" skiing area are quickly reached.
Highlights in the surroundings
Here, the experience of nature is our top priority: hiking, walking, trying out neat tours - the choice is great. Numerous mountain railroads, for example our nostalgic "Laber" mountain railroad are worth a trip for the view from the top alone. You should also not miss the Kolbensattel with its beautiful playground, wooden ball track, summer toboggan run and the Kolbensattelhütte. The Ettal monastery with its majestic dome of the basilica is unique, Linderhof castle is also very quickly reached. In winter, it is possible to walk downhill for hours in the sun - or watch the professionals at the "König-Ludwig-Lauf". We always recommend a detour to the cheese dairy in Ettal. For e-bike riders, we of course keep a charging station ready.
