Wow, the Kemmeribodenbad, I'm lost for words. A brilliant location with beautiful surroundings for hiking and enjoying. In the restaurant you are served with love and the food is excellent. The premises are very well maintained and perfectly presented. Wonderful, I can highly recommend it. The somewhat long journey is well worth it. And who doesn't know them, the legendary meringues?!
