Pennsylvania Town Of Hamburg: Most Peaceful Place To Live

With the sweeping countryside, state parks, and hidden corners in nature, we’re never really too far from those treasured moments of tranquility. Sometimes, though, we want to escape somewhere that’s both peaceful and offers us plenty to explore – like the small Pennsylvania town of Hamburg. One of the most peaceful places to live in the country, it’s an idyllic daytrip and weekend getaway destination.

Tucked at the base of the Appalachian Mountains, the darling town of Hamburg oozes historic charm and has been called one of the most scenic places in Pennsylvania. It’s also one of the most peaceful.

With a population of just over 4,300, Hamburg is perhaps best known for its annual Taste of Hamburg-er Festival, an epic hamburger festival that shines a spotlight on one of America’s most famous sandwiches.

The town also hosts an annual Hamburg Fun Fest in mid-June. It boasts a full menu of family-friendly events – from live entertainment and fireworks to a petting zoo and rides.

If it’s quiet you’re after, spend some time outdoors in this charming small town. It’s home to several parks, including Hamburg Community Park, Kaercher Creek Park, and Kernsville Dam Recreational Area.

For simply sensational views, slip on your hiking shoes and follow the Pulpit Rock and Pinnacle Loop Trail, which takes you along the famed Appalachian Trail.

Or consider hiking or biking along the local portion of the John Bartram Trail, part of the longer Schuylkill River Trail.

For a leisurely day, explore the adorable shops downtown before sitting down to a delicious bite to eat at one of the town’s restaurants.
