Garmisch-Partenkirchen – gorgeous traditional houses
- Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a ski town in Bavaria, southern Germany.
- The town is known as the site of the 1936 Winter Olympic Games.
- On the main street, Ludwigstrasse, you can admire the facade of the gorgeous traditional houses that were decorated with beautiful paintings and window boxes abloom with geraniums.

- Garmisch (in the west) and Partenkirchen (in the east) were separate towns for many centuries.
- It is best known for Germany’s highest peak, Zugspitze, towering over the town.

- Just three kilometers southeast of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is the wild Partnachklamm, the Partnach Gorge. This dramatic and rocky gorge on the River Partnach is 702 meters long and reaches depths of more than 80 meters.
- Neuschwanstein, one of Germany’s most beautiful castles, is located one hour west of Garmisch-Partenkirchen
- A three-hour hike each way from Garmisch-Partenkirchen is the King’s House in Schachen, the exquisite “hunting” lodge of King Ludwig II.
- A great way to get the most out of your sightseeing and hiking high above Garmisch-Partenkirchen is to make use of the town’s network of summit lifts and gondolas.
- The pilgrimage church St. Anton is a short walk above Partenkirchen; you can recognize it by its distinctive onion dome. Inside the dome is a beautiful fresco by Johann Evangelist Holzer.
- A famous resident, Richard Strauss, spent 40 years of his life in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Today, his lovely 1908 Art Nouveau villa in Garmisch is a museum.
