Since 2024 with new tenants, it has been re conceptualized. Now there is vegan, but delicious food, selected drinks and much more. Nicely done, directly on the Saale

It's always worth a stop here, there's something to eat and delicious beer. It's self-service, but the staff are always very friendly.

Super nice idea from the villagers. I've sat here many times and taken great selfies with her and my friends, so a short stop is always worth it!

Back then it was without a roof, today it has one and right next to it a beautiful sundial - both located directly on the cycle path.

Buchenwald Concentration Camp, officially KL Buchenwald, was one of the largest concentration camps on German soil. It operated as a forced labor camp on the Ettersberg hill near Weimar between July 1937 and April 1945. A total of approximately 277,800 people from 50 countries were imprisoned in Buchenwald during this period.[1] The death toll is estimated at around 56,000, including 15,000 Soviet citizens, 7,000 Poles, 6,000 Hungarians, and 3,000 French citizens.[2] As the 3rd US Army approached on April 11, 1945, the prisoners took control of the camp from the retreating SS, arrested 125 of the guards, opened the gates, and raised a white flag.
