The deliberately concise menu changes weekly, depending on deliveries and the chef's inspiration. Whether for a gourmet break, a business lunch, or an evening with friends – everyone will find something to their taste here, including lovers of vegetarian or vegan cuisine. Cultural events provide variety throughout the year: concerts, DJ sets on the terrace, themed evenings, and artistic encounters shape the life of the restaurant.

The tower is open continuously from April (Easter) to October. Admission is free. People with walking disabilities or acute fear of heights should avoid the tower. There is only one staircase up and down. Crossing on the inner staircase is a bit difficult. The outer staircase has around 45 steps, the inner one around 65. The view from the 30-meter-high tower top is unique. At the foot of the tower, a spacious meadow with scattered benches and tables invites you to linger. Cultural events such as festivals and the like regularly take place here. Next to the tower, there are no other noteworthy buildings (apart from the church) that can be visited.
