      Situated at the eastern end of the winding Iowa River Valley Scenic Byway, the Amana Colonies are a community of seven villages, established in the 1850s by members of a religious movement who had fled persecution in Germany. There are historic buildings, museums, galleries and stores throughout the villages, and numerous opportunities to sample traditional German cooking.

      If you go:
      One of the best is The Ox Yoke Inn in Main Amana.
