The restaurant with its cozy dining room and large beer garden is 663 meters above sea level and right next to the Robert Kolb Tower. The view from up here is magnificent.

Vierkreuz actually has 7 turns and should be called its own siebenkreuz. Apart from that, it is especially a nice place because of the shelter / schutzhutte at the top, perfect for bikepacking.
