Levy, from Lapid, in the Modi'in area, arrived in southern Germany on vacation some two weeks ago. She was last seen with three Germans in a town near the German Alps last week on Wednesday.
Local police began searching for Levy on Thursday, after the hotel she was staying at informed them that she had not checked-out on Thursday.
She last sent her family in Israel a phone message last Wednesday.
Levy's parents flew to Germany last weekend in order to join in the search for their daughter.
