The very lovingly restored village center with mill bakery, brewery and inns invites you to linger. A great end to any hike in the area. Bread, beer and cakes are a must-try!

Schmilka Mill Bakery and Organic Brewery

Highlight • Restaurant

There is not only super-delicious bread, but also home-brewed beer. Had today vegetable pie, slightly warmed with a dip - a dream!
