A nice country inn, partly self-service, but very pleasant. The game stew was very good. The coffee and chocolate cake were also good. All in all, a pleasant stay on the high wall.

The Wildenstein (448 m) is a wooded hill in a quiet, secluded location. Away from the main hiking trails, it invites you to enjoy untouched nature. From its highest point, beautiful views of the surrounding area open up, depending on the season. A perfect destination for those who enjoy exploring off-the-beaten-path trails.
