Typical Zoiglstubn where you immediately feel at home, with tasty beer and snacks.

Every first Sunday of the month, you can take a guided tour of the impressive castle. More information: https://www.bayreuth-tourismus.de/sehenswertes/museen/schloss-colmdorf-schloss-birken. If you just want to take a short break, a stop at the castle café or beer garden is worthwhile.

It's best combined with a tour of Speinshart Monastery. The Stations of the Cross and Barbaraberg Church are well worth seeing.
