As the name suggests, it's only open on weekends, and even then only on Sundays. However, if you happen to be here on a Sunday, you should definitely try the fantastic cakes. Not buttercream, but the finest whipped cream, because the owner is a cream sommelier.

Clinging to the steep castle hill like a swallow's nest, the pretty church is visible from far away.

Here, GDR border guards drove along the Thuringian-Bavarian border in off-road vehicles on patrol. The route of the patrol route is clearly visible.
