Unfortunately, Gipfelglück is right. It's closed for the entire year of 2025 for dubious reasons. Too bad for the Sauerlach market square; it's been pretty much dead since then. The sign on the window, however, predicts a reopening in 2026.

Unfortunately, it's closed now, but luckily the Ratschiller next door also serves ice cream. They make it themselves, and it tasted really good.
