There is much less going on on this side of the lake than on the side of the village of Hopfen. Highly recommended section of cycle path with a great view of the village!

At Walder Käskuche you can enjoy delicious food and drinks from the small menu. There are seating options inside on two levels, as well as outside on the terrace with a view of the Nesselwanger Alpspitz and Reuterwanne. Integrated is the in-house brewery, a show cheese dairy and a small farm shop, which primarily offers its own cheese. In front of the Käskuche, cyclists will find a small service point with tools and a charging station for e-bikes. The Walder Käskuche is part of the neighboring Berghof Babel with a guesthouse, family apartments and hotel rooms, with conference facilities and a restaurant, as well as its own agriculture. The animals in the stables can also be visited by guests of the Käskuche. Tobias Babel was incidentally named Germany's Farmer of the Year in 2024, as he convinced the jury with his sustainability concept for the farm. In addition to Tobias, Michael is the chef and Simon is responsible for the cheese dairy at Babelhof.
