4 Stars for a restaurant found inside a castle? Well, ya!…read more Ok, I'll admit, I only had a glass of wine and cake which were both great. But, the view is the real star of the restaurant. In summer, get a table on the outside terrace for beautiful views of the valley (including a power plant of some kind in the distance). The immediate area includes wineries and the hillsides are covered with grape vines. The day we were visited there was a glider flying (gliding?) above us. I think the pilot may have had a few too many of the local Rieslings because he headed right for us on a number of occasions but it made for an entertaining day! Food and drink are reasonably priced for having such a captive audience (in America they'd price gauge). Same prices as other restaurants in the area. E 3.60 for wine, 2.00 for mineral water, 5.70 for Apfelstrudel mit Eis (that's apple strudel with ice cream - I mean really, if you can't get that, you better leave Germany. Quick). The E 5.70 Schwarzwaldbecher (black forest sundae) was AWESOME! The deal of the day was the E 2.10 Blechkuchen which literally translates to 'sheet metal cake' but somehow that just doesn't do it justice. It was a delicious, moist, creamy, slightly cheesy but not quite cheese-cake, cake. If you're up for it, its worth parking the car at the very bottom parking lot and taking the walk up to the castle. Its about 30-45 minute walk, up hill most of the way on a paved road until the very end where it is a dirt road. If you're not 'up for it', drive as far as you can, up the mountain, to the parking lots at the foot of the castle. You'll still have to haul yourself up a small hill but if you didn't have as many pints as I did the night before, you'll make it just fine (I had to stop a few times). The restaurant is only open on weekends starting in Nov (through April, I think). The castle is open every day.

Now this is what I call a Schloss! :)…read more The place is worth a visit just to have a wander round, there's another review on Qype for this, but if you need refreshment, you won't be disappointed. They serve food in the restored part of the castle and you can sit out on their balcony with a wonderful view of the forest and surrounding area. Or sit inside and worry about all the sharp weapons. They have the heaviest menu I've ever seen (it's made of wood). Children are welcome and they are given place mats of knights and horses etc to colour in. (Why do they always have all the fun?) The food is wholesome and hearty, typical German fair, from meaty soups to my favourite, Apfrelstrudel. If you are here in the winter, the hot chocolate is yummy! Especially if you had to push your bike up the hill (a long story). I've knocked a point off because it's not open all year round (check their website for the opening times)

With a very German-looking interior (low ceilings, lots of stuff on the walls to look at), a menu including some traditional German dishes and interesting specials, and a nice wine selection (including good local wines); this restaurant is perfect for a nice dinner with your significant other or a few good friends. I do not recommend bringing little kids as the tables are small and intimate and the general atmosphere is mature. Parking is a bit of a nightmare, it's better to park further away and walk to the restaurant than to try and navigate the very narrow cobble streets closer to the restaurant.

Great to stop by on a weekend walk or hike or bike trip…read more.. Perfect place to stop for a break during a long walk, hike or bike trip. I will definitely go back. It can get really crowded on weekends when the weather is great. Try to avoid peak times. Make sure you check opening times before you head out as they can vary. Tolle Einkehrmöglichkeit für Spaziergänger, Wanderer und Radfahrer am Wochenende... Der perfekte Ort zum Einkehren wenn man im Rahmen eines Spaziergangs, einer Wanderung oder Radtour eine Pause einlegen möchte. Ich werde dort sicher wieder einkehren. An den Wochenenden kann es ziemlich voll werden wenn das Wetter schön ist. Am besten vermeidet man Stoßzeiten. Da die Öffnungszeiten sich ändern können, sollte man sie an Tag des geplanten Besuchs kurzfristig überprüfen.
