April 2025: The main house is currently being rebuilt after a fire in November 2024, so no catering will likely take place until the end of 2025. We recommend the holiday apartment above the donkey stable (pleasantly warm in April...).

Looked very run down and neglected in September 2024. The animals run around freely, including a large dog.

Nice little lake with a big hut. Hardly frequented when I visited on October 23rd. The hut has stable tables and benches both inside and outside (under a large canopy), inviting you to take a break in a quiet place. The lake can be reached by car and there is parking available there.

The Wissgrut farmhouse is a beautiful little farmhouse some 100 meters below the summit of the Wissgrut (1,124 meters above sea level). Its cuisine is delicious, especially the dishes prepared with meat from the farm's livestock.
