Dining
LAMM
A really cosy place, where you will also eat very well: seasonal Swabian-Baden cuisine, with an emphasis on regional produce; some of the meat comes from the restaurant's own highland cattle. Some dishes are labelled ‘Naturparkwirte’ (nature park hosts). There are good wines to accompany your meal, as well as a special whisky offer. In summer, try and bag a spot on the terrace. Pleasant guestrooms also available.
