Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Amicalola Falls State Park
Amicalola Falls has a large slippery fall in a very marked Appalachian forest. The stairs gradually lead to the stopping points, while the upper road offers a more comfortable option. The fall remains powerful, even out of season.
Nature and landscape
Blue Ridge
Blue Ridge, small mountain town, remains centered on the railway and its basic shops, with easy access to more natural areas. There is a simple base for hiking without leaving the local comforts. The city sets the tone of the High Country smoothly.
Place indismissible
Dahlonega
Dahlonega keep the memory of the American gold rush in a living center, backed by wine routes and nearby hills. The museum on the old courthouse anchors the past to the real topography. It is a small town with an unusual historical depth.
