Für eine Übernachtung auf der Durchreise haben wir hier einen sehr angenehmen und unkomplizierten Aufenthalt verbracht. Die Kinder haben sich sehr über die Badewanne gefreut, für ältere Personen könnte der Einstieg etwas schwierig sein.

Wir haben auf dem Weg nach Süden hier übernachtet und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel kann ich empfehlen, zumal es nah an der Autobahn liegt und trotzdem ruhig im Dorf gelegen ist.
