Leavenworth | Two Day Getaway To “Little Bavaria”

Leavenworth | Two Day Getaway To “Little Bavaria”

I’ve lived in Seattle for much of my life, so I’ve driven through Leavenworth hundreds of times. It wasn’t until recently, Tove and I actually stopped and enjoyed what “Little Bavaria” had to offer. Since it’s only about two hours from Seattle, we spent two days and three nights there in July. As we always seem to do — Tove and I had a blast there!

The small mountain town in central Washington is modeled after Bavaria, which is a southeast state in Germany (think Munich).

In addition, there are loads of outdoor recreational activities and sports you can do. It is a great weekend getaway for everyone. Whether you are looking for a girls weekend, a romantic getaway with your sweetheart or a trip the whole family will enjoy, Leavenworth has a lot to offer a lot of people.
