Mittenwald also has a lot to offer culturally and historically. The violin making museum offers not only an overview of the long history of violin making but also a diverse insight into the life of the Mittenwald people in the past centuries. The numerous music events of the Mittenwald music summer are also worth a visit.
In contrast to larger towns, Mittenwald has retained the charm of a traditional Bavarian village, in which lived customs have their place. The Mittenwald Carnival, known beyond the local borders, but also the various cattle drives are the best examples of this.
