Previously a 16th-century customs house, sitting on 1,000-year-old foundations and a secret tunnel that runs to the nearby Schloss and church, this friendly travelers' inn is the type of place made for history buffs. The inn's half-timber rooms have been restored to resemble what life might have been like in the time of the Brothers Grimm, but with modern comforts. Weary travelers can rest their feet beneath the 100-year-old chestnut tree in the inn's garden in summer.
Centrally located but tucked away on a side alley, this charming hotel and restaurant has quiet, comfortable rooms and very friendly staff, making it a great base for city exploring or for business travelers. The house restaurant features typical German cuisine with no fanfare; dishes include Spätzle alongside a sausage salad.
