    Tips

    March 7, 2021

    Nice little "forest beer garden".

    In good weather you can sit outside, but there are also cozy seats inside.

    There is the good Naabecker beer and Gutmann wheat beer and, of course, a Fuchsbeck as well as snacks and coffee / cake.

    In the main season there are also barbecues more often.

    The menu in the pictures is from the 2020 season (price on photo: Naabecker Hell 2.80).

    Of course, guided tours of the Easter cave are also offered.

    Parking for ~ 20 cars directly 100 meters next to it, so also suitable as a starting and finishing point for a hike in the area.

      The Waldschänke is located directly at the Easter cave. Very nice beer garden.

        Very nice, shady beer garden with delicious snacks, coffee and cake. Note opening hours! Open from Good Friday to the end of October, every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., the Waldschänke is the tip in the Neukirchen area. A visit to the small but fine stalactite cave is definitely worthwhile. This is how a cave should be, dark, damp and narrow passages, a real adventure!
