This is our recommendation for a stop. Delicious food and super friendly service. In summer, there's lovely seating in the beer garden.

Unfortunately, half of the road was destroyed by forestry work, so only the upper section is still passable...

Very nice place to stop, delicious food, sweets and coffee, but it's already quite old.

The old town hall formerly served as a sales hall for bread and meat products, a frequently used dance floor, a prison (known as the "Narrenhäuslein"), a fire extinguisher's house, and a post office. Later, it housed the savings bank. Today, the old town hall houses the residents' registration office, the passport office, the assembly hall, and the wedding hall.

More than quaint, a bit run down, but good food, cakes and drinks.
