Shopping:
Many Oberammergau merchants, including hotels and souvenir stores, now accept international credit cards. However, some businesses only accept EC (EuroCheque) cards, which have 4-digit PINs.
Be forewarned that it’s still common to find businesses that only accept cash. We’ve encountered this at restaurants and in smaller shops. If you don’t have cash on hand, be sure to ask staff for clarification before you commit to a meal.
The Weltladen, a fair-trade shop, is the place to go if you’re looking to buy a gift with international flair. What’s more, the goods here are sold at a fair price, helping artisans and producers in Africa, South America and Asia earn a reasonable income.
