BAVARIAN MAGIC

Discover the magic of Leavenworth

V

olumes have been written about the tiny village of Leavenworth nestled in the foothills of the Eastern Cascades. Often described as the Miracle Town its story is about the power and grit of the American spirit. A story about how imagination and dedication has created a destination that attracts millions who return year after year to relax and refresh their spirit.

The story began in the 1960’s when a group of local residents mortgaged everything to save their town from the depression of a declining lumber and railroad economy. They re-created their tiny mountain home building it into a Bavarian Village focused on tourism.

The vision of those early dreamers worked to create what has become Washington’s largest tourist attraction. Today, the still tiny village of Leavenworth entertains millions from around the world.

Today the entrepreneurial spirit that captured the magic of economic renewal continues as the community regularly reinvents itself. The old world Bavarian theme is still alive but every year finds new events and activities. And while some might wish otherwise, modern conveniences like cell phones and Wi-Fi are available in most of the local mountains and valleys.

Leavenworth has become much more with world class entertainment, mouth watering restaurants, accommodations from simple to sublime, and outdoor recreation to invigorate and refresh the child in all of us. In the pages that follow you will find information on some of the activities and events that

draw visitors to the area. All of the information you find in this guide is produced by those who live here not some travel writer from Hoboken or web designer from India. We will guide you to the hidden treasures that make our town unique.

Things are always changing in Leavenworth but by utilizing the power of the Internet, we can also keep you up to date through our website at leavenworthecho.com. There you will find articles about current events, updates to current activities, and videos like On Any Given Day that give you a quality snapshot of the best things to do in Leavenworth.

Our website includes many other quality multi-media presentations of the best of the Bavarian Village so we encourage you to explore it regularly.

The site is fully responsive and can be viewed on most devices including smart phones.

This guide only covers activities that occur from April through August. Our Fall and Winter Edition will be published in August covering September through January. You can find a brief description of each month's activities on our website.

Those who have discovered the Bavarian Village come back

year after year because once they have visited they too have fallen in love with Leavenworth.

There is truly something for everyone to love about our little Bavarian Village. We are confident that you too will find a special place in your heart for

our little town on the banks of the Wenatchee River.

WINE, BREWS, PRODUCE

WINES & CRAFT BREWS

L

ong before local residents came together to create the Bavarian Theme the upper valley was known for its agricultural produce. Apples and Pears were the primary crop but tree fruit growers have diversified their crops over the years to add cherries and now wine grapes. Today, the Leavenworth area is still the largest exporter of organic pears.

Produce stands can still be found all along Highway 2 from Monitor to Lake Wenatchee and Highway 97 from Blewett Pass north to Highway 2. Apples, pears, nectarines, peaches, apricots, grapes and cherries are available in these picturesque stands, often tended by their owners from early morning until dusk.

So, if the kids ever asked you where an egg comes from, or you would like to taste a truly fresh pear, you might want to stop by a local produce stand or check out one of the self-guided driving maps available at local visitor centers.

Today’s orchardists, like the farmers before them, are finding innovative ways to make the land productive and to maximize the financial return from their efforts. They have diversified their crops with many new varieties of apples, pears and cherries. Creating some truly unique flavorful fruit.

Now many have turned their attention to creating their own wines and ciders made with locally grown fruit. You will find many tasting rooms in the Bavarian Village offering samples of

their products. It is an opportunity to discover new beverages not available anywhere else.

Another unique and popular fruit product, Aplets and Cotlets candy, is made right here in the valley. This world famous fruit candy is made in a broad variety of styles and flavors. Tours of the factory in Cashmere are open to the public.

Before the Bavarian Village theme, before summer theater, river rafting and all of the recreational opportunities, farmers were turning the Upper Wenatchee River Valley into a rich agricultural region. With irrigation those innovative farmers turned a once arid land into one of the premier fruit growing areas in the country. As a result of their hard work and dedication, each spring the hills are filled with the sweet aroma of fruit blossoms.

But agri-tourism is more than just produce stands and orchard tours. It includes wine tasting festivals, car shows, hay rides, petting zoos and even tours of an old fruit packing line. There is no need to leave the kids behind while you explore the local win-

eries. There are ample opportunities for the entire family to explore the world of agriculture in the Wenatchee River Valley.

Valley wine makers experiment with both white and red varieties with equal curiosity and passion. It’s still too early to say which kinds of wine will establish a reputation in our region.

Each variety continues to garner awards and high marks at wine competitions all over the world.

The more recent addition of local cideries is now producing many delightful hard ciders from a variety of apples and pears.

It’s just the latest example of the innovative spirit you will find in the Bavarian Village.

The hatchery is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Call 509-548-7641.

THE NUTCRACKER MUSEUM One of the unique treasures of Leavenworth is the worldfamous Nutcracker Museum, located on the Southwest corner of Front & Eighth Streets.

RAFTING AND KAYAKING The Wenatchee River at the foothills of the towering Cascades reflects all the land around it, extreme and powerful in some areas, smooth and placid in others. Rafting season runs from April to October. For those look-

ing for a thrilling adventure, the snow pack runoff ramps up the river’s water volume providing thrilling white water rafting adventures with class II, III and IV rapids.

Water levels even out during the summer and the Wenatchee River offers a smoother ride.

From mid-July to October local outfitters offer Class III rafting trips and scenic, educational journey and recommendations for the family who are looking to enjoy a relaxing day.

Folks can also watch wildlife during their journey.

Inflatable kayak journeys are available from mid-July through September, though many outfitters request payment and reservations 30 days in advance.

Inexperienced rafters who are unfamiliar with the area, may want to visit one of the outfitting companies before tackling a river. We recommend Osprey Rafting Company. A local company that offers Class IV rapids in their private high adventure put in on the Wenatchee River in Leavenworth.

Established in 1991, Osprey has been Leavenworth’s hometown rafting company for over 25 years and takes great pride

in supporting the community.

They also rent paddle boards, kayaks and tubes from their Paddle Shack.

Osprey’s professional guides have years of river experience under their belts.

To book a white water rafting adventure on the Wenatchee River at (509) 548-6800.

ROCK CLIMBING Washington state is renowned for its vast, and excellent rock climbing options. The Leavenworth area will provide climbers a plethora of opportunities to test their skills and reach new heights.

One of the more well known climbing areas is the Peshatin Pinnacles State Park a couple of miles outside of Leavenworth on U.S. Highway 2.

Climbers can also find new heights as they travel Icicle Canyon. Some climbs have safety systems already in place.

Contact the ranger station and local outdoor sport outfitters about climbing conditions in the Upper Valley, as well as updated conditions, supplies and rock climbing guide books.

LEAVENWORTH ZIPLINES Folks can travel to Leavenworth Ziplines at the Mountain Springs Lodge just 20 minutes away from Leavenworth. The lodge has a rich history dating back to 1895 when owner W.W. Burgess bought Beaver Valley from its first homesteader, John Matthews.

The ziplines will take you through the trees, across Beaver Creek Valley and through a gorgeous landscape. For more information, contact (509) 763-2713 or visit leavenworthziplines.com You can find videos of outdoor recreation on our website at http://www.leavenworthecho. com/outdoors
