A worthwhile stop with small dishes, snacks, and drinks (draft beer!). Nicely decorated, the price-performance ratio is right. Open Sundays and public holidays from 11 am to 6 pm, from the end of April to early/mid-October.

The Kronach River flows through the market square. An ice cream parlor, the town hall, the bakery, and the church line the square. A Kneipp bath, information boards about the hiking trails, and a bookcase are also located here.

It's always nice for a leisurely stroll here. The Wilhelminen Aue attracts many visitors, and cyclists can take a relaxing break. The kiosk is usually open, and it's also good to quench your thirst...🍺
