The town sprang up around a sawmill built here in the early years of the 20th century. Today, thanks to a clever facelift, it looks like a Black Forest village right out of Hansel and Gretel. Tourists come for the German culture and to attend the South's largest Oktoberfest. Over 100 import shops and outlet stores, handicrafts, tube rides on the Chattahoochee, and other outdoor activities all help make this the state's third most popular travel destination.When you're ready for some German cuisine, try the Hofbrauhaus Inn overlooking the river at 1 Main Street (706-878-2248), Troll Tavern, a Bavarian-style restaurant also on the river at 8590 Main Street (706-878-3117), or the Wurst Haus, featuring gourmet German wurst at 8660-1 Main Street (706-878-2647).
