Enjoy Leavenworth's best offerings — a small, pedestrian-friendly downtown area and a nearly seamless connection to the natural world encircling it — with an easy, romantic stroll. Although the line between kitschy and genuine is as hazy as the steam off a hot chocolate on a crisp winter day, Leavenworth, Wash., manages to plant itself just on the fringe of accurate. The Bavarian-modeled mountain town is so carefully planned that nary has a window escaped without a decorative shutter, and you can almost imagine yourself in the Alps.
