Dining
Weinstube am Brühl
These former stables have been converted into a delightful restaurant, in which terracotta tiles, warm colours and an old brick ceiling lend a real country feel. The international cuisine on offer follows the seasons closely. The six-course "Weinstuben-Menü" (with vegan/vegetarian alternatives) comes with optional wine pairings.

Charming and elegant guestrooms are available in the Hotel Am Brühl.
