Helen
Travel Bucket List: Helen, Georgia
You’ve probably heard of Helen, whether you know it or not. It was originally a lumber and logging town, but in 1969, the downtown area was transformed into an old-world Bavarian alpine village in order to boost tourism.
As someone who has been fascinated with Germany thanks in large part to Rammstein, I think this is the closest I’ll ever get to visiting. Helen apparently goes all out for Christmas, which would be fun to see; however, I’d be more inclined to go for Oktoberfest.
Aside from the obvious major events, I’d have to explore the everyday local life, too. There are nearby areas for hiking (and medieval architecture in the woods), a covered bridge, tubing on the Chattahoochee River, a mountain coaster that carries riders through beautiful scenery, and tastings at Habersham Vineyards & Winery or the historic Nora Mill Granary.
If you’re planning a family trip to Helen, bear in mind they also have a waterpark, a train that takes passengers around the town, the Babyland General Hospital where Cabbage Patch Kids are “born” and can be adopted, the Capyfriends Cafe, a ziplining course, carriage and horse rides, and much more! There’s also a museum, an Indian mound, and the arts and heritage center, if that’s more your speed, and a spa for some relaxation after a long day adventuring!
Yeah…this just looks like somewhere I need to spend about 2 weeks in. And I do have vacation time coming up in December. Hmm.
