Rest area at the Schweizerhaus on the Schwarza River

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice place to relax and linger. Opposite is the Swiss house. Unfortunately it is closed at the moment. Otherwise this house is a restaurant. The square also invites you to cool off in the Schwarza in summer.

When we got to the top, everything was …

Cycling through the Schwarzatal. At the beginning of March, the paths are still quite wet. Eating ice cream in Sitzendorf is always worthwhile. However, you have to wait quite a long time for a scoop of ice cream to go. But the ice cream (€1.70) is delicious and the scoop is quite large
