Mittenwald

Built around a medieval trade route between Bavaria and Tyrol, Mittenwald grew into an Alpine market town celebrated for its violin-making tradition. It lies in the upper Isar valley, between the Karwendel range and the Wetterstein mountains, close to the Austrian border. Painted façades in the historic centre and the Baroque parish church of St Peter and Paul give the town a distinctive local identity. Violin maker Matthias Klotz established the craft here in the late 17th century, and the Geigenbaumuseum documents that legacy.
