During the day, one can often find groups of elderly hikers sampling the cakes or the Odenwälder "Vesper" (snack) specialities. However, the menue carries a few surprises - besides the expected dishes like rumpsteak with onions and schnitzels of various kins, there might also be a salad with wild mushrooms and wild boar bacon and other delicacies depending on the season. The holiday flats or rooms are a bit dated, but not expensive at all; service is friendly but never obtrusive.

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)

It's a robust and yummy German Gasthaus. Prices are moderate…read more The offers differ seasonal and contain fresh, homemade specialities, like lamb or fish from own breedings.

Booked two nights in this hotel based on reviews we read on trip advisor. We arrived by train and…read moreas it was raining took a taxi to the hotel (5 euros). The hotel is situated in the old part of the town and is very quaint indeed. We walked through the main door and were astonished to be walking through the restaurant dragging our wet suitcases between tables of people eating! We thought we had entered by a wrong door, however the waitress pointed us to the corner of the bar which we then realised was a tiny reception area for the hotel! Very strange to be checking in amongst diners. The lady spoke away in German and we advised we were English and couldn't speak German, however she continued to converse in German and we got the gist of the check in card and breakfast times. We were given a key and pointed to a door. Once through this door my heart sank. We were faced with a rather grotty public area, very grotty spiral staircase which we struggled up with our luggage. However, relief once we got to the top as the upper common areas were all fresh and new. Our room was at the end of the corridor overlooking the side of the hotel and car park. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean and nice big double bed which was extremely comfy. Nice big flatscreen TV. I was really quite relieved after experiencing the initial entrance and reception. We had a bath with overhead shower however we did find the shower quite dangerous as one minute is was scalding hot and then the next freezing cold. The bathroom had a very large clear window which we found quite strange although there was a net curtain (which was very tatty and all torn) and curtains. We had to keep these closed at all times unless we wanted to be exhibitionists!! Breakfast was the usual German breakfast and we did find it disappointing compared to other places we have stayed in Germany. There was lots of packets ie butter, jams, milk, croissants rather than fresh items. The orange juice was warm. Two kinds of rolls (brown and white) which were very hard and pretty tasteless. No offers neither to refill our tea/coffee. Again found it odd that we had explained we could not speak German, they continue to instruct us in German! We were going to eat in the hotel. Looking at the menu it was more expensive than other places in the town, probably due to the location. Something stopped us from eating there and I am glad it did as we read trip advisor and went to A-Z restaurant just up the road which was excellent food and value. For what we paid (92 Euros per night) we were left a little disappointed. I am just glad the room was nice but as for having to walk through a restaurant to check in, lack of any welcome and the breakfast, we came away a little disappointed.
