Not far from the bustle of Seattle or Spokane, Leavenworth -
Washington's Bavarian Village - transports visitors to another part
of the world. This Cascade Mountain hamlet features authentic
alpine architecture, old country foods and gifts, dazzling flowers,
and dramatic mountain views reminiscent of its European
counterpart.
Shoppers needn't travel abroad to find fine European as well as
Northwest crafts in the shops and galleries throughout town. You'll
find specialty gifts such as glassworks, cuckoo clocks, quilts,
wood-crafts, photography, linens, clothing and jewelry. Since
shopping can work up quite an appetite, visitors can choose from an
abundance of dining options including schnitzel, strudels and
sausages, as well as American favorites like hamburgers, steaks and
pizza.
Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, evergreen-carpeted hillsides and
rushing rivers, Leavenworth is a place of natural scenic beauty.
