Tradition meets modernity
We're delighted you've found your way to us. 'You're so close to Fulda – are you really part of the Rhön?' some people ask. We say: of course! Home is where the heart opens up. And with views of the Wasserkuppe, Milseburg and the rest, it opens up all by itself.
Our hill is only 385 metres high, but we're the last place to rest before the descent. Come in, spend a few hours in the beer garden or restaurant, or stay the night with us, between the Rhön and the Vogelsberg.
Out of love for our homeland, we cook mainly with produce from the Rhön. Sit back and let us spoil you, just as if you were visiting friends.
