Quaint little tavern with typical Thuringian dishes and a spacious outdoor terrace. Small insider tip if you like it a little quieter.

The Kalte Stube is located on the Gieselsberg. Here you take a seat and rest on the "Longest bench in Thuringia from a tree trunk"! It stands in the middle of an avenue of more than 40 trees of the year, each with a corresponding label.
