Despite several changes of management in recent years, they haven't found anyone here who can cook. Drinks are great and idyllic. But several attempts to eat have failed. The quality is poor and the prices are completely exorbitant. One plus point are the beers here – a great and constantly changing selection.

The hut is still there, let's go, the Palatinate food is a poem and super friendly service on the idyllic lake shore.
