Historic Garmisch
A stroll through historic Garmisch is an engaging journey back in time. The farm houses in Werdenfels with their lavishly embellished balconies tell their own story – just like the quaint little alleys and Lüftlmalerei mural paintings lining the Frühlingstraße.
Walk past the Alte Kirche, a church from the 13th century, admire the historic flair of the Polznkasperhaus, and process the new impressions at a shaded beer garden. You’ll see: Garmisch is the perfect place to let your mind wander and relax.
Discover Partenkirchen
Equally as endearing: the historic district of Partenkirchen. It’s jam-packed with fascinating history as well. The Fraundorfer Inn with its magnificent farmer’s wedding paintings, the Werdenfels Museum or Haus Simon, where Archangel Gabriel with his fire sword and lily is standing guard. Those are living memories of days long past that keep shaping the overall appearance of Partenkirchen still today.
A slight breeze, a few rays of sunlight and a cold beer in front of one of the many traditional houses in the historic district of Partenkirchen – that’s all it takes for the original Bavarian holiday feeling!
