Donโt Miss Out! Discover a Hidden Getaway Near Atlanta ๐
๐ Morning: Tubing Adventure You canโt visit Helen without experiencing the super relaxing Chattahoochee River tubing! ๐ถ We recommend the 1-hour tubing route from Helen Tubing (around $20 per person). They provide tubes and shuttle service. ๐ Wear quick-dry swimwear + a sun shirt, and put your phone in a waterproof pouch (hang it around your neck โ trust me on this ๐). The river is calm โ perfect for chilling while floating! But expect some splashes at turns ๐, so bring a change of clothes and a towel for the car. โ ๏ธ Tips: โถ Arrive before 10 AM to avoid crowds ๐ โท Apply sunscreen x3! UV reflection on the water is strong โ๏ธ โธ Wear goggles if you use contact lenses ๐ฅฝ ๐ Tubing Spot: 222 Edelweiss St (right across the parking lot) ๐ Lunch: German Feast Head straight to Hofbrauhaus Restaurant in the town center after tubing! Their Crispy Pork Knuckle is UNREAL ๐ โ crackling skin like crรจme brรปlรฉe, juicy tender meat inside ๐ท. Served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes to balance the richness. Best shared by 3 people! Donโt forget to try the German dark beer Dunkel โ rich and malty ๐บ โจ Pro Tip: Tuck sauerkraut between the crispy skin and meat for an explosion of tangy, crunchy, and tender flavors! We arrived at 11:30 AM and got a table easily. After 12 PM, expect waits up to 1 hour! ๐ Bonus: The town is incredibly photogenic! ๐ธ After lunch, take a stroll and snap pics in front of the red-roofed cottages. For afternoon tea, try the pretzel + rainbow gelato โ more on that in my next post! ๐ One-Day Itinerary: Tubing โ German Lunch โ Town Photos โ Waterfall Hike (add Anna Ruby Falls if time allows!) #HelenGA #GermanVillage #AtlantaDayTrip #TubingAdventure #FoodieGuide #TravelGeorgia
