A picture book come alive” is how Goethe described Mittenwald. Once there, you’ll agree wholeheartedly that Mittenwald is, indeed, the Bavarian Alps most beautiful village. Medieval buildings with color-laden window boxes, streetside planters with even more gorgeous flowers and a stream running through the town. With the Alps in the background, it just doesn’t get much prettier than this. Enjoy a stroll down Obermarkt, the town’s main street, where you’ll see how prosperous Mittenwald used to be when it was an important stop on medieval trade routes.
