Jeff Cushner/ Flickr Jim Thorpe is nicknamed the “Switzerland of America” for a reason.
- Honesdale
Nicholas A. Tonelli/ Flickr Hinsdale may not be very well known, but its beauty has attracted filmmakers on multiple occasions. It was the set for the movie “Blue Valentine” in 2009. “Wet Hot American Summer” and it’s also where the set of Schrute Farms is located, the fictional family homestead of Dwight Schrute in NBC’s “The Office.”
- Pittsburgh

- Bethlehem

Lehigh Valley, PA/ Flickr The old Bethlehem Steel Factory is a magnificent landmark in the Lehigh Valley, but Bethlehem itself is a charming sight as well.
- Williamstown

- Gettysburg

Paul Vladuchik/ Flickr Gettysburg is known as the site of the most infamous battle to ever occur in Pennsylvania… But, the town itself is gorgeous outside of the battlefield.
- Wilkes-Barre
John Morgan/ Flickr The Market Street Bridge in Wilkes-Barre is not only a historic landmark, but also makes for a striking landscape.
- Blain
Steve Kennedy/ Flickr Blain is a tiny town with less than 300 residents… 300 residents who enjoy breathtaking views of the classic Pennsylvanian countryside daily.
- Centralia
Cole Young/ Flickr Centralia has more austere scenery than the other entries on this list; perhaps because the town has been almost entirely abandoned since the mid-1990s. A raging underground coal fire has left the landscape strikingly barren and empty.
- Intercourse
