"The last house on the left in Germany," is how innkeeper Franz Holler describes his inn, located directly on the Czech border. Guests have been served here for almost 700 years, and the inn has been family-owned since 1623. The cozy inn is open only on Sundays and public holidays. It serves delicious snacks, cakes, and, as a specialty, homemade cookies.

… enjoy your hike looking for the traces of the Stadlern Schischaukel which went bankrupt in 2006. Conserve the beauty. Don’t demolish the witnesses of the era long gone as the ski huts and signs.
