You're out for a Sunday drive through the mountains, just enjoying the views, maybe doing a bit of hiking or cross-country skiing, when you come around a bend and find yourself in the Bavarian Alps. Folks in lederhosen and dirndls dance in the streets, a polka band plays the old oompah-pah, and all the buildings look like alpine chalets. Have you just entered the Twilight Zone? No, it's just Leavenworth, Washington's Bavarian village.
Many an unsuspecting traveler has had just this experience, but if you're reading this, you'll be prepared for the sight of a Bavarian village transported to the middle of the Washington Cascades. Whether you think it's the most romantic town in the state, a great place to go shopping, the perfect base for hiking and skiing, or just another example of über-kitsch, there's no denying that Leavenworth makes an impression.
