I liked the restaurant a few meters before the fairytale forest the best. It's so beautifully quiet and beautiful. I've been there several times. The first time, unfortunately, was for a sad reason. A good friend of my wife and me is buried there in the Ruhewald. We had known each other for almost 50 years.

especially with children it is a must - I had to take my niece and nephew piggyback and they always wanted to go to the "Trixer" ;)

The hiking trail is not recommended with a stroller because you have to drive over roots and stones. With older children who can walk the whole route alone, it is ideal 😁
