Glockenspiel German Restaurant - Mount Angel, Oregon
This spot has the LARGEST Glockenspiel in the entire country! That's right, above this German restaurant is a genuine Glockenspiel that still functions to this day!
The Glockenspiel Restaurant is another great option for trying out some authentic German food. Even better, it's located in a very German town. With a European look and feel to the streets, it is not only a cultural wonder to have in Oregon, but it is also the center of the HUGE Oktoberfest Celebration that takes place in Mount Angel every year!
