6Helen, Georgia
Located in the Appalachian Mountains, Helen, Georgia, has transformed itself into a replica of a Bavarian alpine village. Every building in this small town is designed in a German architectural style, complete with timber-framed houses, gabled roofs, and decorative shutters. Helen offers traditional German food, beer, and festivals, including one of the largest Oktoberfest celebrations in the country. The Chattahoochee River winds through the town, adding to the European feel, especially in the summer when tubers float down the river under the picturesque wooden bridges.
