Reit im Winkl, Alpine village in Bavaria, Germany
The village sits at the foothills of the Bavarian Alps near the Austrian border, surrounded by mountains and forests at an elevation of 700 meters.
First documented in the 13th century, Reit im Winkl transformed from a mountain farming settlement into a tourist destination after King Maximilian II's visit in 1858.
The village maintains traditional Bavarian customs through regional specialties like Heumilch cheese and heuschnapps, produced from locally sourced mountain ingredients.
The German Alpine Road B305 connects Reit im Winkl to major cities, with Salzburg Airport located 56 kilometers away and regular bus services to surrounding areas.
The village earned Germany's first Premium Winter Trails Certification in 2012 due to its consistent snowfall and exceptional cross-country skiing conditions.
