  • Believe it or not, there's a German looking town in Northern Georgia. Yep, this is not Bavaria, this is the state of Georgia. Helen has a bit of everything for those looking for a weekend getaway. Residents of Atlanta have been escaping the chaos of the city to come here for decades. If you're thinking about going for the first time, or if you're looking for something new to do in Helen. Check out this guide.

    I live in Georgia for so many years and only recently understood this place. Looks like I need to find a time to go over there and check it out

      We lived in the Atlanta area in the late '80s. My mom said, "We won't alway live in Georga, so we are going to do everything we can while we are here." So we did. We went to Helen 5 or so time in 3 yeas.
      I am so glad she did that! To this day, I travel to all kinds of places, large and small. I's now 11 hours away, but I can't wait to take my wife and kids to Helen some day. I bet it has changed since 1989.

    Wildwood is the best shop in Helen. We love the area, and the history. We live outside of Atlanta on the south side. So we really enjoy the peace and quiet in the mountains ❤

      From our experience it was easy to take our dog most places. She’s little though so that could make a difference

    What is best month to go there

    • @GooseandaGander
      @GooseandaGander  Рік тому

      I would say around Sept/Oct when it's not too hot. The summer is great there but it's obviously really hot for walking around. Christians is super fun too.
