We had made a reservation but were a little early and the service staff still managed to get us a table straight away despite the full house.The food and drinks were also taken quickly and it took no time until the food was there.Everything was super delicious! The prices are reasonable.Definitely a good restaurant!

We were there today with 9 hungry hikers and were thrilled: Concept: Imaginative Franconian food, traditional recipes freshly interpreted! What comes to the table is what grows and grows here. Just reading the menu is a pleasure! The recipes are right there too! (Who knows “Entenjung” these days?) By the way, most dishes are also available in small portions.The excellent espresso remains to be mentioned - really the exception in the area. If desired, it can be accompanied by “farmer’s ice cream” from a factory! (We haven't tried the in-house schnapps, but they are well known!)The service is also great: fast, attentive, friendly! all at really affordable prices! We'd love to come back when we're back at Walberla!PS: the warm kitchen throughout is also very hiker-friendly.Of course, we can't say anything about the hotel right now.

Yesterday we stopped at the Sponsel after the hike. The service was friendly and good, the food was excellent.I think the concept is very good, we only use what comes from our own farm or nearby.

Nice location, nice service. However, the price-performance ratio is not right for me. I found it really steep for a small roast pork, a really tiny children's portion, €13.90.

I was here with friends for lunch break during our hike across the Walbala. The home-brewed beer and the Franconian dishes were excellent. The waitresses are funny and very friendly.

Very large and well-equipped rooms. comfortable bed. You can eat very well in the restaurant. The staff and the host family were very friendly.Good location - a hike up the Walberla is recommended, and a trip to Forchheim, for example, is also worthwhile.Overall, it's worth a stay - even for several days
