Tourist Information for Leavenworth, WA

Fall Fun In Leavenworth
(continued)

Leavenworth, Washington is a year-round sports and recreation destination. The village provides easy access to world-class rock climbing, hiking, white-water rafting, golfing, boating and mountaineering. You’ll enjoy family-oriented activities and festivals throughout the year.

Located on the east slope of the central Cascade Mountain Range, Leavenworth is a village of less than 2000 year-round residents. In the mid-sixties Leavenworth, then a dwindling logging town, began the transformation that made it the Bavarian themed village you see today. Its elevation, only 1200′, makes it a perfect base for enjoying all the outdoor activities your family loves.

Looking for traditional German food while you’re in Leavenworth? Check the German Food page for some of our favorites. You’ll find places like München Haus with outdoor seating, savory flavored grilled sausages with all the trimmings like housemade sauerkraut, and German beers on tap. We really enjoy the Bavarian rathskeller ambiance of Andreas Keller. The food is good, portions are generous, the atmosphere is wunderbar!

You’ll find lots of other kinds of European and America fare in Leavenworth. Check our Eat page for ideas for everything from gelato to pizza. You’ll find Italian, Asian, café fare and lots of chocolate. We usually can’t find time to eat all of our favorites during a weekend visit. That’s okay we always know we’ll be back soon. And we never leave without a stop at the Cheesemonger’s Shop and Fudge Hut for continuing enjoyment once we’re home.

Be sure you make time this fall to visit one or more of the many fruit orchards strung out throughout the Wenatchee Valley. Visit orchards that have been cultivated by the same families for generations, vineyards producing fine Washington wines and wine tasting rooms in Leavenworth and the surrounding area. One new place to try is the Cashmere Cider Mill. You’ll find a link to it on our Fruit and Produce page. They have a tasting room, and offer tours. They specialize in Lady Blush cider and offer non-alchoholic drinks as well.

Visit Accidental Bavarian for places to stay and eat and things to do during the months of September and October. It’s just the thing you need to bridge the gap between summer and autumn and chase away the back-to-school blues.
