Tips from the Community
For us it was simply closed today and we thought the inn was no longer in operation. But that doesn't seem to be the case, as there are current and positive reviews online. So it's a small, cozy village inn where the food is freshly prepared. Whether it's schnitzel or steak, everything is super delicious.

It wasn't easy for us to find this stone bridge in the forest over the Schwarzwasser. Its pillars have certainly seen better days, but the massive stone that crosses the Schwarzwasser will outlive us. Given today's standards, the crossing and its railing would surely be closed immediately. (:-)

After walking through the natural cave, you will find this beautifully laid out rest area at the edge of the path or field, even though there is of course no sensational view to be found here.

This bridge over the Schwarzwasser is still fully intact and can be walked on or driven on. Other bridges are not doing so well, but some of them are a little more romantic.

In this gem, which was built in its current form between 1720 and 1725, wedding parties or other events will find the best conditions for a great celebration, as the historic walls form a beautiful setting. In the large hall, over 100 people can feast and celebrate to their heart's content, and a maximum of 60 people can go into the hall for the wedding ceremony. The adjacent park around the castle invites you to stroll and provides a romantic backdrop for beautiful wedding photos. The figurine-decorated porch in front of the entrance, which dates back to 1918, makes for beautiful motifs for a bride and groom, and the porch gives the former simple manor a little more prestige.

In 2006, the weir for the Skalmühle, which was no longer in operation anyway, was dismantled. The cross-barrier (bottom drop) was removed. Since then, the area has been more easily passable for fish and aquatic organisms.
