The place was closed on a Thursday at 13:00 when they are supposed to be open according to their website. We hiked all the way for nothing. They should be better and keeping to their opening hours.

A great place to have a meal after a tough hike up the Kapuzinerberg. The waitress was friendly and welcoming despite being very busy, the food and the beer are great.

Long walk but a beautiful place. Unfortunately it was closed because of renovation.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
