Decorated trees light up Amana

As if by magic, a forest will pop up Nov. 29 in a century-old barn in Amana. The indoor Tannenbaum Forest features more than 70 trees decorated for the holidays by local clubs and businesses. (If you look hard enough, you’ll find a few traditional German pickle ornaments.) While you’re there, take a photo with Santa’s sleigh and the German Christmas pyramid.

The forest is free to visit on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 22. And fair warning: The barn isn’t heated, so bundle up. When you’re finished, check out the neighboring restaurants and shops, including the international Christmas market at the Amana General Store.
