The city of Leavenworth, once a productive logging town is now a tourist oriented Bavarian Alpine village complete with an authentic Austrian and Bavarian architecture and traditions.
Leavenworth is nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, on Highway 2, just two hours drive from Seattle.
Other than the Bavarian theme, the main attraction Leavenworth has to offer is the vast wilderness area surrounding it. This area includes Alpine lakes and untamed nature that provides recreational opportunities for all seasons.
Hotels in Leavenworth are located along highway 2, about 1 mile from the city center.
