Maximilian and Marie-Luise Schranner's establishment is a haven of comfort and calm. They have lovingly transformed this traditional inn with a tasteful interior design concept. At the helm, Maximilian Schranner specialises in classic cuisine and proposes three set menus: the "Menü Gourmet", the "Menü vegetarisch" and the "Wirthaus-Menü" – but you can also order dishes from these à la carte. There is also a very reasonably priced set menu at lunchtime. On warm days, the gorgeous terrace on the Seebach with its views of the castle is a particular highlight.
