Traditional village inn in Zangenstein
Along the "Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Cycle Path", which runs on the former railway line from Wölsendorf to Schönsee, there is only one place to stop during the weekday to Obervietach in the village inn Kellermann in the middle of Zangenstein. Since there are no signs along the cycle path, cyclists who do not know the restaurant pass the mostly open "refreshment station" unsuspectingly.


Hence my tip:
Simply cycle a few meters from the cycle path to the center of Zangenstein. Mondays are always closed, but guests are welcome on all other days of the week between 10am and 6pm. Edeltraud, a passionate landlady, provides her guests, who prefer to sit under the awning around the large table in the courtyard, with snacks and drinks. Franz, the landlord, is very knowledgeable about bikes and can help if someone has a problem with their bike.
God preserve us beautiful village inns like that of the Edeltraud and Franz Stockerl families.

Built in the late Gothic period, the castle was surrounded by a ring wall and a moat until the mid-19th century. Today only a pond remains. A striking part of the building is a flat bay window with cross-rib vaults and tracery windows. The property is privately owned.

Schwarzach Floodplains

Highlight • Natural

Pure nature. You can avoid the incline between Schönau and Zangenstein. However, it's a dirt road.

Along the planet path you will find numerous information boards about our planetary system. Incidentally, the distances between the information boards correspond on a small scale to the distances in reality - very exciting.
