On Sundays, the restaurant closes at 4:00 PM. Don't they need it?

Be sure to visit the shop at the Bodenberg cheese dairy. They have excellent cheese, yogurt, whey products, and other fine items. The ice cream is also excellent.

Even better than the show dairy is the Meier bakery right next door! Ideal for a refreshing snack in the form of a cream cake or a Nide cake.
