You'll find a coffee machine, chilled drinks, and granola bars here. A very well-maintained rest stop awaits you.

Best roast pork - but you can't get in without a reservation!

The Prandegg castle ruins are around 140 metres long and are one of the largest castles in the country. They began to decay around 1750 and have been owned by the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha since 1823. You can visit them and walk around the castle on the castle trail.

Was here during my "Johannesweg hike". Very nice atmosphere and the homemade apple strudel was simply delicious.😍

After the climb from both directions there is a beautiful view over to the castle and also over the hills around Schönau.
