Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany


We stayed one night in Partenkirchen on our trip through southern Germany. Garmisch and Partenkirchen were separate towns for several centuries but today they are meshed together into one resort town in Bavaria.


Partenkirchen was first mentioned in the year A.D. 15 as a trade route between Venice and Augsburg. It's main street, Ludwigsstrausse, follows the original Roman road. We stayed in a traditional Bavarian guesthouse on Ludwifsstrausse Road.
The 1936 Winter Olympic Games were held in Garmisch and Partenkirchen.
