In Ench in the bistro room you can eat well and inexpensively, highly recommended if you don't want a special ambience.

View of Thörnicher Ritsch

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wow! What a view here on the Moselle. You can let your gaze wander far over the Moselle valley with its wine-growing areas and steep slopes. It's really worth coming up here!
