Even though Leavenworth may not be a legit Bavarian settlement, the German culture paired with the Swiss influences and everything else alpine make it a wonderful getaway to feel like you’re in another world. This are the best Bavarian activities in Leavenworth to get into the spirit and have a great trip to Washington’s favorite small town.
If you’re not too interested in the Bavarian/German fun that’s available, there are plenty of other great things to do in Leavenworth to enjoy on your getaway to Eastern Washington. Where it’s summer or winter, you’ll have a great trip!
Why is Bavarian Leavenworth So Fascinating
I love telling the story of Leavenworth, Washington because it’s remarkable. A logging boom town in Eastern Washington, the town started to fail and its economy crumbled as the timber industry changed and moved away from the area. Not wanting Leavenworth to turn into another ghost town like so many others in Washington had, the town polled their resources and hired a marketing firm to help them out.
