Beautiful pond right next to the path, however completely fenced in and therefore inaccessible.

A beautiful beer garden, away from the street, belongs to Kartoffelhaus Papas. Varied menu with many great and less common dishes. Also good options for vegetarians. Very friendly service and the food (we had potato rosti with chanterelles) was super tasty. Highly recommended restaurant!

It's calm and beautiful here. A short walk also offers relaxation here.
