Pick up your dirndl and lederhosen from a boutique in town, and get the whole family involved in the Alpine life. Nab a Leavenworth vacation rental overlooking this charming village, or opt for something set in the mountains. We promise the beer will taste just as good at any altitude.

Stunning scenery to be enjoyed from every angle

But you'll find more than feathered friends in the area -- there's lots of fishing to be enjoyed, too. Just keep in mind that in some areas, all wild fish must be released. If you prefer to take in the sights from just slightly higher up, book a horseback riding tour, or get down low in a river raft, kayak, or inner tube.
