GERMAN CULTURE IN COLORADO DIRECTORY
Boulder is about 30 miles from Denver by
car, or you can take the scenic 18-mile US
36 Bikeway, a dedicated paved bike path
completed in 2016, perfect for commuting
or recreation.
In Boulder, explore the rich history of Volga
Germans who settled in the area to work
in the sugar beet fields in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. Many Volga German
families settled in and around Boulder, CO.
Boulder offers world-class hiking, from
the Flatirons to Chautauqua Park and
Mount Sanitas. Pack plenty of water and
snacks in a deuter backpack, a German
brand of sport packs and bags with its US
headquarters in Boulder, known for high-
quality outdoor gear. Founded in 1898 in
Augsburg, Germany, deuter is a pioneering
backpack brand and a top choice among US
outdoor enthusiasts.
Before heading home, visit the Bohemian
Biergarten, founded by Zdenek Srom in
2013, offering Central European cuisine
and a charming Old Europe atmosphere.
Delight in the classic imported beers on
draft as well as authentic food such as
the Bohemian Beef Goulash served with
a dumpling.
Cool off with a dip in the historic Eldorado
Springs Pool, a beloved source of summer
fun for generations of families in the
Boulder community.
