How it begins.

Solemn and lofty against the evening sky towers the Kofel, the land-mark and protecting rock-bulwark of Oberammergau, bearing aloft its solitary cross, like a threatening hand uplifted in menace to confront an advancing foe with the symbol of victory. Twilight is gathering, and the dark shadow of the mighty protector stretches far across the quiet valley.
