Garmisch-Partenkirchen Fresco Paintings

One of Garmisch-Partenkirchen's best attributes is the many murals on the buildings. Business, homes, churches... they are all painted, and it's done so well that sometimes you have to look closely to see if what you are looking at is real or has been painted. Some of the houses bear the dates of the original painting and the when it was updated. One said it had been painted in 1937 and then redone in 1974. The tradition of these frescoes is beautiful and the essence of Bavaria.
