Bavarian-Themed Town of Leavenworth.

Bavarian-Themed Town

Great place to spend a few days. Quite festive during winter months. Lots of shops for buying souvenirs and snack style treats. Meals can be challenging, so make reservations.

Even McDonald's and Starbucks have conformed to the theme by altering their fonts and logos to fit. During Oktoberfest there is Lederhosen as far as the eye can see.
