Travel Guide – Cheese Country Scenic Drives
Southwest Wisconsin is part of Wisconsin’s unique driftless area topography formed by the geological Ice Age (Wisconsin Glaciation). The landscape features broad open hilltops, flat fertile river valleys, and steep wooded slopes. Numerous creeks and the mixture of steep woods and rolling grasslands lends itself to dairy operations including creameries and cheese factories. Swiss immigrants to the area brought their cheese making craft with them and made the area a locus of world championship cheese.
Woods, rolling fields, neatly cared for farmsteads, winding roads, and rural landscape make for scenic and stress free drives populated by attractive villages that have retained their small town character.
