Garmisch Partenkirchen - Germany



















Time for another visit to see the Hubers in Garmisch Partenkirchen! We were planning for a day of skiing, but terrible weather prevented that from happening. Plan B was a short trip just outside of Garmisch to a nearby town called Mittenwald. The town is located in Bavaria on a trade route that was used by the Romans (and also surrounded by beautiful mountains). In the 17th century, Matthias Klotz introduced the art of violin making to the town. Today, there are eleven violin making workshops in Mittenwald. Despite the rain, we had a nice time visiting the museum and walking around this very traditional town. As usual, the Hubers were excellent hosts and went out of their way to take care of us. They have rooms available for rent. If you're planning to visit the region, we highly recommend that you stay with them. They would love to have you! See their web page here. Pictures of Mittenwald here, and our old pictures from Garmisch here.
