Great café. Delicious breakfast. Recommended for coffee and cake. Located on the bike path. Long opening hours: Wednesdays 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., Sundays 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friendly staff. Quarry museum and bakery in the same building. A worthwhile excursion destination. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Drive along the main road to Zweibrücken; the alternative behind the railway is too bad.
