Leavenworth, WA - What do you get when you mix Vienna, Bavaria and the Wild Wild West?  The Wild & Scenic Musice Fest at Icicle Creek in Leavenworth, WA!

Vienna, the capital and largest city of Austria is regarded as the City of Music because of its musical legac and is also known as the  "The City of Dreams" because it was home to the world's first psycho-analyst - Sigmund Freud. Bavaria is one of the oldest states of Europe and  the largest state by area, forming almost 20% of the total land area of Germany and  shares international borders with Austria, the Czech Republic as well as with Switzerland. Because all of these countries are part of the Schengen Area, the border is completely open. Two major rivers flow through the state, the Danube and the Main. The Bavarian Alps define the border with Austria and within the range is the highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze. The Bavarian Forest and the Bohemian Forest form the vast majority

of the frontier with the Czech Republic and   Bohemia. The major cities in Bavaria are Munich , Nuremberg , Augsburg, Regensburg, Würzburg, Ingolstadt, Fürth and Erlangen.
