Accommodation located directly at the Rennsteig starting point. Clean rooms and rich breakfast. Unfortunately, many individually packaged and therefore not very environmentally friendly ingredients. Friendly staff, aggressive dogs on site.

Perfect location for Rennsteig hikers right at the start of the Rennsteig on the Werra. Despite the summer temperatures, the room was pleasantly cool, clean and very practically furnished. There was even a refrigerator and a hotplate in the anteroom. Very attentive service at breakfast. Versatile, delicious breakfast buffet.

Very nice guesthouse, quite remote location. Really in a small village. Still a fairly large guest house with quite a few rooms and it was really busy...Rooms are good!Shower was fine, but it took a very long time for the water to become warm.The bed really wasn't my thing. I like a slightly firmer mattress... Really. But this really felt like I was lying on a plank all night. Or in a coffin.My bones and tendons ached. This was really too hardStill able to sleep reasonably well.Breakfast was in the other part of the guest house (for us), we crossed the parking square and walked straight into the breakfast room. Very nice idea. Small space and stairs to the top floor. Also small space (approximately four/five tables)Nicely decorated and tables well set. The breakfast buffet was downstairs. I haven't had such an extensive choice for a long time.Sandwiches, rye bread, egg, cottage cheese with all kinds of toppings, yoghurts, fruit, spreads. But also fish, olives, raw vegetables. Really something for everyone. We were given a pot of coffee on the table.And everything tasted very goodIf you don't like very hard beds... It'll be fine for one night, but it won't be nice for longerBut definitely recommended for all other things. Despite the busy occupancy, we had no problems!! Really quiet there
