Small B&B / Gästehaus in a real German village. Rooms spacious and clean, and in German style with shutters. All with balconies (6 rooms in total). Enough parking on site. I think if you really have to, you can also park on public property around the corner. Dogs very welcome (5 euros per dog per night), we received a water bowl and a fleece for the bed. If you stay overnight for more days, the room is cheaper. Fridge in the breakfast room with its own shelf per room. Breakfast on request, with a customized list (and payment in cash). Rooms a bit noisy. There is a bakery around the corner and within a 5-minute walk you can walk up the Bellerberg or the Vulkanpad into the woods.Not for wheelchairs, but you will also have problems outside, because of the quite steep streets.
