Even more beautiful than the Bavarian Alps are the cities nestled between them, such as Mittenwald!
“Mittenwald, a living picture book”
Goethe
There is certainly no better place to discover the ancient local traditions of Bavaria, combined with a walk in a cozy country atmosphere, than in these beautiful little towns in the region.
Mittenwald is located in a region very close to the border with Austria, where it is possible to get to know Innsbruck, for example, on a car tour. For travelers in Munich, it is also possible to visit Mittenwald on a day trip.
However, for those who wish to enjoy the city's unique atmosphere even more, it is recommended that you stay in one of the local hotels, with their beautiful buildings that are an attraction in themselves with their facades, some with frescoes known as Pleaseor also with planters in their windows.
Mittenwald became part of the Prince-Bishopric of Freising in the 14th century, being an important entry point for goods into southern Germany. However, it was in the 17th century that the manufacture of stringed instruments, especially violins, began in the city, which guaranteed Mittenwald notoriety in this segment. This tradition was started by the Klotz family, who taught the craft to other families from the old village, and their descendants continue to maintain this legacy to this day.
For those who wish to learn more about the history of these instruments in Mittenwald, there is the possibility of visiting the Geigenbau Museum, founded in 1930.
The most visited area is the historic center, where a stroll admiring the beautiful painted facades of the buildings, with the Alps in the background, is a must. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul is one of the most beautiful spots, standing out on the city's skyline.
When visiting Munich, be sure to take a tour of Mittenwald and the other charming towns in the Bavarian Alps. For private personalized trips, with tours, transfers and tailor-made experiences, talk to us!
