Schneeberg

Enjoy a relaxing hike through mountain meadows with stunning alpine views.

Start with a warming beef noodle soup or a baked cauliflower appetizer. For your main dish, choose between slow-roasted pork belly with sauerkraut and dumplings or a flavorful vegetarian lentil stew. Finish with homemade strudel—apple, cream cheese, or blackberry—served with your choice of wine, beer, or soda, plus a cup of coffee.
