Hiking

The villa, originally built as a restaurant for the Karl Schreider Export Brewery in Falkenstein (founded in 1709 and closed in 1968), which was once located here but has since been demolished, is now a privately owned residential building. It stands directly on the inner-German border.

Former excursion restaurant of the Falkenstein brewery. The brewery building was in the same place, but was demolished in the 1980s.
