Super freundlich, gute Musik und leckeres Essen. Wir haben hier einen Stopp auf unserer Rückwanderung vom Carolafelsen eingelegt. Wir hatten Eisschokolade, Eiskaffee und die Plinsen (Eierkuchen). Diese waren echt lecker und wurden zudem noch toll garniert. Unsere Bedienung war gut gelaunt, freundlich und hatte immer einen Scherz auf den Lippen. Von uns gibt es hier eine klare Empfehlung, wenn man dort auf der Ecke ist... Zur Wandererunterkunft gegenüber können wir bricht sagen.

The guy who runs this place is awesome, super cool, funny and most importantly, cooks great food. Amazingly, once I told him I was a New Zealander, he started talking to me about New Zealand Films that are not that well known internationally.. incredible to have such a conversation in the depths of Eastern Saxony, an unforgettable experience, highly recommend this joint.

Was für eine wertvolle Insel, an einem Ort, an dem so unterschiedliche Menschen aufeinander treffen. Du bist ein echt stabiler Typ, der mit Vorurteilen über Sachsen aufräumt und Haltung zeigt, ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger. Deine offene Art ist einladend, mit anderen Gästen in Kontakt zu kommen. Ich habe auf diese Art eine tolle Familie kennengelernt, mit der ich eine inspirierende Autofahrt zurück nach Dresden erleben durfte, - was für eine schöne Begegnung! Vielen Dank:)
