Leavenworth is such a dreamy destination in any season. Whether you’re going for a festival, a romantic weekend getaway, or the seemingly never-ending Christmas light displays, our Bavarian village is always a delightful spot to visit. And if you’ve ever seen a happy group smiling from the back of a horse-drawn carriage and wanted that experience for yourself, we have good news — the company behind them is called the H.C. Anderson Carriage Co., and they operate all year long.

While it’s possible to stroll through downtown Leavenworth on foot, it’s a lot more fun to explore it by carriage.
