Gasthaus Zum Guten Glück

I’ve seen this place recommended on the platform, and I have to say, I wasn’t disappointed at all. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Breakfast was a real highlight—plenty of options including granola, omelettes, and pancakes. The pancake with bacon and a fried egg in the photo? Absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The coffee was excellent too, with a wide range of hot and cold drinks to choose from. We loved sitting out on the outdoor patio, but the cozy indoor space was just as charming. Even though it’s a bit off the beaten path—located toward the western side of town—it’s well worth the short trip. A hidden gem with a warm, homely vibe that makes you feel right at home.
