This town has an interesting history. A dying timber and rail
town, it successfully converted itself into an alpine Bavarian
village in the 1960s. The community used the backdrop of the
surrounding Alpine hills to their advantage and completely
renovated the downtown, along with instituting a series of
festivals.
The town hovered on the brink of extinction for more than thirty
years, but today, it sees more than a million tourists annually.
This is also a great place to hike, mountain bike, cross-country
ski, and snowshoe.14:37 - 11.1 millas / 22 minutos - 14:59
