Garmisch-Partenkirchen

I arrived there on a Sunday night, when everything was closed and I was devosted. But the beauty of this town is amazing. Place worth of visit! Super beautiful Bayern.

Nobody seems to have mentioned that Garmisch is the home of Richard Strauss, the composer of various operas and tone poems including the famous “Also Sprach Zarathustra”. His house (that he built himself and died in) is right in the centre of the town and is just as it was when he lived there. Worth an hour if you are interested in music. If you go in early June you will hit the Strauss music festival although they have occasional concerts all through the year.

I arrived in Garmisch on 20 June 1990. I worked for the Armed Forces Recreation Center and loved every minute of it! The area is gorgeous, the people welcoming, and the food is outstanding! So many great memories and friends from Garmisch!

My husband loved the snow skiing, I loved the hiking and biking. The food was out of this world, and the people are very friendly.

I lived in Garmisch for 10 months while my boyfriend worked in town. It was an amazing town with plenty of culture and wonderful people.
