Located in Hotel am Rossplan, this cosy dark panelled inn is the favorite place for all card players who play Germany’s national card game “Skat” over jugs of beer and hearty local dishes.
Dining
Mingle with the locals and learn about the many local festivals to enjoy some regional fare. German food is always wholesome and there are always plenty of takeaway stalls in the town. Pork is a popular meat and so is chicken, and Sauerkraut with bratwurst is a must try. The local specialities include goat cheese, “Mutzbraten” roasted pork chops with a dark coat of herbs, “Rostbrätel” a pork steak with onion sauce and minced potatoes, and “Bierfleisch” is pork chops sautéed with dark beer.
