Beautiful barn on the Einkorn. The quality of the food is very inconsistent. Sometimes great, sometimes so-so.

The historic Döttinger Gate, part of the former town fortifications dating back to the mid-16th century, was renovated and rebuilt around 1710, according to old documents. A chimney was added in 1892, and at the end of World War II, the apartment was renovated for a bombed-out Stuttgart family.
