Sometimes a simple outdoor holiday experience can be especially rewarding. Every winter in Germantown, a community park is transformed by residents into a holiday wonderland. Decorated Christmas trees line the park’s walkways, providing a festive place for a stroll with someone special. Here’s why The Tannenbaum Trail is one of Wisconsin’s prettiest holiday walks.
Germantown is a village in Washington County with about 20,000 people. It was settled by German immigrants in the 1840s, making it the oldest community in the county.

The village is a great day trip destination for much of southeast Wisconsin. It’s only about a half-hour drive from downtown Milwaukee, and it’s well worth the journey.
