Very friendly people, to cope with the customer flow they have a system where you order and pay at the first counter inside. At the second counter you receive the ordered drinks/cake/dessert (cutlery and napkins to the left of the counter). At the third counter you hand in the ladle with your order. If you have ordered salad, you get a bowl that you can fill yourself at the 'salad bar' opposite the third counter and up to 3 slices of bread per bowl. When your order is ready, it will be called out (cutlery and napkins to the left of the counter). Seating of your choice, inside and outside.

A wide panoramic viewpoint looking over one of the lakes in the Südschwarzwald Nature Park. The lush, forested setting is quintessential Southern Black Forest at its best.

A very nice bike path! And, of course, with few inclines. Please note: Currently (autumn 2025), the shortcut in Lenzkirch via the sewage treatment plant is closed due to construction work.
