Washington: Day Trip to Leavenworth, WA - Travel Vlog | PNW Bavarian Town Travel Guide

Washington: Day Trip to Leavenworth, WA - Travel Vlog | PNW Bavarian Town Travel Guide
In this week’s video we took a day trip to explore the picturesque Bavarian themed village of Leavenworth in state #22… Washington! Just 2 hours east of Seattle, nestled into a narrow valley of the Cascade Mountains, Leavenworth is regularly ranked as one of the top Christmas towns in the US and hosts one of the best Oktoberfest in the country as well, but even if you can’t visit during one of these epic events, Leavenworth has plenty to offer for a quick day trip (or even weekend getaway), which is exactly what we did!

== About Us ==
We’re Matt and Nat, a part time travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. Like everyone else, 2020 turned our world upside down. With more time on our hands than ever and multiple international trips canceled, we were left wondering what our 2021 travel plans would look like.
What we realized is that we wanted to see more of our own beautiful country, so we decided to set out on our biggest adventure yet… to see all 50 states in a year!
This channel is about all things travel & adventure. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, to crazy travel stories, the best foods, as well as product & service reviews, & soo much more.
So please make sure you SUBSCRIBE (it really helps us out) to follow along on this crazy adventure. :)

Have you ever been to a town that made you feel like you were in another country??? We LOVE Germany and it's culture, so Leavenworth was right up our alley!!

[@LuvinMusicMan]

Planning a weekend there this coming weekend, would you recommend two nights there and one night in Seattle? We are visiting from SoCal.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Hmm… That’s a tough one. If you want to get some hiking in on your visit (Colchuck Lake was what we were wanting to do), I would say 2 nights, but if you’re just looking at doing the main town area, one night would be enough, and you’ll get some time in Seattle which is a beautiful city!

[@audiophileman7047]

Solvang is one of those theme towns in California. It's a Dutch/Danish kind of town. They have the best licorice and Danish pastries there.

Fun fact, if a crow poops on you, there's a 60% chance that you made the mistake of making eye contact with it while eating, and then didn't share. They are smart enough to be spiteful, and to pass grudges onto their children.

Hey you guys!! So glad to see you made it to my backyard!!! We were there in April and had an amazing time as always. Looks like you guys hit most of our favorite spots. I hope you got a chance to go to Cured which is next to the gelato place. Great beer and brats👍 And from someone who’s been to Leavenworth many times at Christmas it’s like a winter wonderland with lots of snow, lights and amazing decorations up and down the streets. But it’s absolutely beautiful no matter what time of year you go. And of course the impromptu food tour was awesome. You can’t go to Leavenworth and not go to the gingerbread house and get some sweets (the cakes are life changing) or brats and potato salad. And a brewski to wash it down 😂😂😂 It also looked like you were there just in time to enjoy our cottonwood trees. Those things are everywhere and the cotton blows around for months. Anyway I’ve rambled on too long but great video you guys and awesome drone shots. I’ve never seen that area from that point of view. Loved it!! P.S. Cheri said getting pooped on by a bird is good luck. So Matt, you’ve got some good luck coming your way 👍👍👍💩💩💩

YES!!! It was soo much fun! We seriously can't wait to go back!!! So ya'll let us know when you are going to your backyard again & we'll join in on the fun! lol 😂 Gosh, the town so was so well down & the food was awesome!!! We'll have to check out Cured next time!! We hope we can make it back maybe next year for Christmas!! 🎄 WOW, those cottonwood trees... hahaha I really thought it was a bubble machine.. 😂🙈 I was like wow, how fun of a city to do! hahaha Oh what?! Matt said he didn't feel lucky but he hopes it's coming! hahaha Thanks so much for watching ya'll! We appreciate you both so much! Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day!!

As someone who lives a bus ride away its suprising that people would think of leavenworth as a tourist destination

[@stardogMLB]

It gets 2.5 million tourists a year. That's 5 times what Big Ben gets. 3 times that of Stonehenge. And roughly the same as Yellowstone Park. The sole purpose of Leavenworth is tourism.

[@lsullyr92]

Leavenworth is my happy place. My daughter and I down a weekend there every January and several day trips throughout the year. It seems like you may have missed our two favorites in Leavenworth- Schocolat, the best hand made chocolate truffles you can get and the Leavenworth Reindeer Farm, where you can feed and interact with Reindeer (advanced booking highly recommended). Both are must do activities for us anytime we go.

Cute town, I hope to visit it sometime! In Texas we have a cool German town named Fredericksburg. Also in Little Rock, AR there is a really good German food restaurant called The Pantry Restaurant :)

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Ohh writing those down now!! That sounds awesome, we will have to check them out! Thank you for the suggestions & for watching!!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Ahh… Yes! We’ve seen photos of Solvang! It looks like a neat place to visit as well! Thanks for watching!

my aunt and uncle are 2 of the owners of icicle brewery 💀💀

[@Rainwatercolor]

I went looking for a blog about Leavenworth and your's popped up. You two are adorable! So fun to walk along with you. I'm homebound and so it makes me feel like I've traveled :D We have Solvang here in SOCAL and it has similar feel but it's not German ;) Thanks for so much fun I'm now a subscriber!! Was 45 and had never been shat on until... we went to Santa Cruz beach and were out on the ward, when a bunch of kids came running through and stopped right where we were then threw a bag of breadcrumbs up in the air. What seemed to be a million seagulls *much bigger than crows... flew straight up in the air and when they did that of course they shat... and only I got hit. So bad I had to buy new clothes and hit the restroom to wash my hair we laughed about that for years!!!!! LOL still laughing :D

Love Andreas Keller Restaurant! It is weird to see it so empty. When you revisit near Christmas time, be prepared for huge crowds, though! ;-) Whomever wants to go there in Winter, see the Lights up, but hates crowds, come in January or February. The lights are kept up until Valentine's Day, or so. Akso, places like Pension Anna and the Post Hotel (awesome outside spaw with snow around it) are cheaper then.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Right?! Andreas Keller was great! Thanks for the tips! Excellent advice! And thanks for watching!🥰

Hot weather is not my cup of tea. Visiting Arizona and 110. I took a beach towel wet it down and put it in the freezer. After 30 min I took it out and covered myself with it. Felt so good. Not a permanent solution but it sure felt good for several minutes.

[@MrSeafoo]

A lot of Washington Wineries in Leavenworth. Wine tasting is fun, it’s def a thing there :)

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Oh, good to know for future visits! We had no idea! Thanks for the info!😊

[@danyvictory421]

Great video ! Nat your smile brightens up the day, are there other things to do in this cute Bavarian town ? Thank You

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

That's an awesome little town,I would love to see a bear,but not up close 😆 😉 😄 they say play dead if you see one,but I'm running .

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Hahahaha... I feel the same way!!! 😂 -Matt

[@anaibarangan4908]

I never knew that looked anything like a Bavarian village. I've never been there before.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Yea, they’ve done a great job at replicating a Bavarian village! Definitely a neat experience!😊 Thanks for watching!

[@legionrider2010]

Loved seeing this town via your eyes. I graduated HS in Munich Germany and lived there for quite a number of years, so seeing places like Bavaria makes me feel like home. I now have this on my bucket list for my RV travel. I just was at my Munich Reunion in Helen,Georgia which is another Germantown, but Leavenworth seems even more like home.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Hey Brad! Thanks for the comment! I (Nat) grew up in Mainz & this felt more like Germany for sure! Totally recommend. Definitely not the same but it’s as close as America is gonna get! 🤣😜 Hope you have so much fun in your RV! Let me know if you’ve done any of the Christmas festivals in the US! We would love to check some of them out!

[@legionrider2010]

@@AdventuresofMattandNat The last town I lived in was Mainz and worked across the Rhein in Wiesbaden. Small world

[@mikeifyouplease]

Wo ist das Wienerschnitzel und der welke Blattsalat und der Apfelsaft? As a child of an American family in Germany during the sixties, this is what we often ate. P.S. The German wilted salad wasn't nearly as nice as what Google images shows today! Also a German Mark was worth 25 cents back then. Boy, did the Dollar go a long way at that time!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Wow! What amazing memories you must have! Different time for sure! Thanks so much for watching!😊

[@mikeifyouplease]

@@AdventuresofMattandNat My sister has been to Leavenworth, but wasn't too impressed during her visit. I sent her your video, and she is raring to come back and give Leavenworth a second chance! Thanks for changing her mind more than the mere words of her brother ever could!

[@maeborja]

Omg! You make me wanna travel to Leavenworth this week. Any other things you could recommend during spring time? Have you done the coaster ride? Thanks.

[@522Dusty]

Liked the vlog episode, I will view some of your other vids, have you ever been to Frankenmuth, Michigan? It is very much like Leavenworth, WA.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aw... Thanks so much, Jack! We just had some friends go there not too long ago and they told us about it, but we haven't had the chance to visit! Seems like a fun town though!

[@agems56]

Pretty expensive for us Canadians! When I saw the prices just after the Zenf or mustard products! We add about 50 per cent to that with our low dollar!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Yea, specialty imported goods like Zenf definitely aren’t the most budget friendly. But man, is it good! Lol… Thanks for watching!😊
