Located on the mountain, in the forest. Offers hikers the opportunity to hike from there or as a hiking destination. The Waldhotel is wheelchair accessible.

We waited 20 minutes until our order was taken. Afterwards we easily waited another 45 minutes for fries, currywurst and nuggets before we left hungry. If I could give 0 stars I would.

We only ate in the restaurant, but we were thrilled with the quality and price. There are German, Italian and Persian dishes. The staff is very friendly and we would eat there again and again.

The most dubious hotel in the world.My reservation was canceled by the hotel - booked through Booking - without comment. Even when I asked, they didn't want to give me a reason.In between, I was contacted again and again by email from the hotel in English and asked to provide my credit card details using an ominous link. Since the payment was supposed to be processed securely via Bookig and all the data was available there, I of course didn't do that.

I had spaghetti with spinach, strips of steak and some kind of hollandaise sauce. The so-called steak strips were tougher than the soles of my shoes and the spaghetti drowned in the greasy sauce. My wife's schnitzel was garnished with a mushroom sauce (I assume from a can) and croquettes, which you really can't go wrong with. Menu is very simple and clear. So nothing that could knock your socks off. There is a lot of room for improvement, for us the term restaurant is exaggerated.👀👎
