The guide was updated:
Nestled in the heart of the Cascade Mountains and flanked by the Icicle and Wenatchee Rivers, Leavenworth is a little slice of Bavaria right in the Pacific Northwest. The town's Bavarian charm is evident in everything, from the distinctive architecture to the hearty German-inspired fare at local restaurants. Stroll through the quaint streets lined with family-owned shops or enjoy views of the mountains and rivers from cozy hotels. In winter, Leavenworth transforms into a cross-country skier's haven, while the warmer months invite you to explore hiking trails, raft the nearby rivers, or ride horses through the Cascades.
For unique experiences, don't miss the Nutcracker Museum, where you'll find nutcrackers dating back to ancient Rome, or stop by The Gingerbread Factory for some homemade treats. Leavenworth’s beer gardens and German restaurants are a must-visit, offering everything from sausages to craft brews. And once you’ve soaked in the town's charm, head into the stunning Cascade Mountains for a scenic adventure on foot, horseback, or by car. With unmatched natural beauty and the warmest hospitality, Leavenworth is a place that’ll feel like home the moment you arrive.
