Day 14 - Seefeld, Austria Mittenwald, Germany

Enjoy a leisurely morning with breakfast at your hotel. Perhaps you'll take this time to explore one of the many scenic pathways that have made this town a popular destination for visitors - and even the host site for Nordic events during multiple Winter Olympic Games.

Lunch will be on your own, before a mid-afternoon departure for Mittenwald. This Bavarian town has long been a vital transportation hub for the region, lying as it does on a low route through the Alps. It has also made significant contributions to the arts, as it is one of the centers of Luftmalerei art, the local tradition of "facade painting," decorating the walls of houses and buildings throughout the town. Here also, fine violins, violas, and other string instruments are manufactured by skilled craftsmen. The Geigenbaumuseum (Violin Museum) of Mittenwald is home to a permanent exhibition of locally made classical stringed instruments, which have been produced in the town for more than 300 years.

This evening, you'll feast at a memorable Farewell Dinner with your fellow travelers, complete with traditional Tyrolean-style music.
