Helen, Georgia
This little US place would look more at home in Germany’s Bavaria rather than in northern Georgia. But you’ll find it hidden away up in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
The small town of under 600 residents comes complete with timbered buildings, charming shops, and mountainous surroundings, all adding to the feel that you’re on a different Continent, and beer is very much the drink of choice.
Helen also has a lively Oktoberfest that has been a critical event for over 40 years. While visiting, you can go hiking through the numerous nearby trails.
Need more? Visit the exciting Nacoochee Adventures adventure park, where you can enjoy giant swings, high ropes, and many intricate zip lines.
