Partenkirchen, an ancient Roman settlement dating back to 15 BC, and Garmisch, with its more recent medieval roots, were officially joined (at Hitler’s insistence) to proclaim the 1936 Winter Olympics. The high-walled Olympic stadium, below the ski-jumps, looks much the same as it did almost 70 years ago; the original observation towers are still there. Garmisch and Partenkirchen are liberally dotted with cosy, rustic Stuben (bars) and welcoming tea-rooms, many of them quite ancient. Many of the delightful old buildings in the twin-towns have colourful “luftelmalerei” frescos on their outside walls.
