Our group ate here every evening. The food was delicious 😋 and the staff was very friendly. Even though we were seated longer, they were still friendly. 🥰 On the last evening, we were given another round of apricots, even though we were very loud. A typical Palatinate dish 🙈

This is the first place you see the Grossglockner. Very beautiful place, framed by several larches.

The New Year's Eve Chapel is located away from Welzelach on a small rocky outcrop above the Isel Gorge. It was built in 1642 and served as a place of pilgrimage for the rural population to pray for their livestock.
