Located on the eastern flank of the Zugerberg, on the cycling and hiking trail, just 20 minutes from the Schmittli bus stop and about 40 minutes from the Zugerberg mountain station, the cozy dining and family restaurant with space for 40 people in the dining room or on the terrace with 60 seats offers a place to take a break and relax.
