Helen, Georgia is a little bit of Bavaria in the United States.
It is a picturesque alpine village set amongst mountains, forests and river banks.
Walking around early in the morning is quite a treat with virtually no one around! Afternoons are bustling here.
It is a place to feel transported to another country.
The Chatachoocee River runs through the village.
Tubers ride down it during the day. Dotted with restaurants and bars, visitors can sit by the river and watch the fun.
We saw many purple martins flying about and the village does a great job accommodating them as well as it does with humans.
It is meticulously maintained with plantings.
Signage is available if you want to navigate the old fashioned way without a smart phone.
Details are everywhere so it is important to look up and enjoy them all!
A cute surprise was wedding chapels! This village is super fabulous for a destination wedding.
One of the local parks is Unicoi Hill Park located on Main Street.
Like the rest of the town, it features beautiful landscaping to wow its visitors.
The park even has its own waterfall, Alana Falls.
Helen is located in the northeast region of Georgia. It is a perfect place to visit for the nature lover as it is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls and nature trails for all fitness levels.
Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
