Top 5 - Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Top 5Guide was updated: September 17, 2024

A stroll through streets like Frühlingsstraße in Garmisch or the Historical Ludwigstraße in Partenkirchen makes tradition come alive. The so-called Lüftlmalereien, magnificent facade paintings, tell you stories about the houses’ inhabitants, the region and its customs, so that even non-German speaking visitors understand - without explanation of a guide. The locals greet guests with openness, lust for life and their Bavarian charm.

Historic Partenkirchen

Walking through the Historic Centre of Partenkirchen, each step leads you further into long ago times. Follow the tracks of the fresco painter Heinrich Bickel who decorated the „Fraundorfer“ Inn at Ludwigstraße with a gorgeous typical country wedding. Nearby, you will also find the local Werdenfels Museum. Miraculously, the former merchant’s building was not impaired by the Big Blaze of 1865. Nowadays, history and ancient customs of the Werdenfels Region are exhibited in the five-storyed house.
