An absolute highlight are the colourful Lüftl paintings on many houses in the old town. This traditional art form shows scenes from everyday life as well as religious motifs and gives Mittenwald its unmistakable charm.

Topically relevant sights also include the violin-making museum with its impressive collection of handmade instruments and the baroque parish church of St. Peter and Paul with its magnificent frescoes.

Cultural highlights are offered by numerous events throughout the year: the annual "Grenzgang" (border walk) leads through the mountains to the Austrian border, while the "Geigenbau Festival" attracts music lovers from all over the world.

Mittenwald also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine - be sure to try local specialities such as pork knuckle or Kaiserschmarrn!
