Bordering Austria, Mittenwald is a mountainside beauty that thrives within Bavaria's spellbinding landscape. Although Mittenwald's main draw is its alpine idyll, it also delights visitors with its local charm, brought to the forefront by a host of distinct elements. One of them is the Geigenbaumuseum Mittenwald, a violin museum that chronicles the history of violin making in this little town. A stroll along its Old Town or Altstadt is a must, and will lead you to many interesting discoveries from architectural gems and historic squares, to Lüftlmalerei, or mural art that is special to this region.
