    Very nicely located restaurant (with hotel & apartments), the rustically furnished and from the terrace you have a beautiful view of the extensive hills. The food is really good too.

      More than 100 years ago, one of the great-grandfathers of the current owners took over his parents' forge in Epen. His wife – therefore the great-grandmother of the current owners – also starts a shop here. There she sells all kinds of things: from nails, wallpaper and colonial goods to wheelbarrows and fabrics. For a small fee, travelers can sleep in the hayloft. In the evening they eat with the pot with the blacksmith, his wife and the large crowd of children. The Smidse has remained the property of the Bessems family for generations, until today. The inn is often referred to as 'Pension Bessems' on old picture postcards. The 5th generation of Bessems has been at the helm since 2007. They continue the work of previous generations with great enthusiasm.
