Traditional village inn in Zangenstein
Along the "Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Cycle Path", which runs on the former railway line from Wölsendorf to Schönsee, there is only one place to stop during the weekday to Obervietach in the village inn Kellermann in the middle of Zangenstein. Since there are no signs along the cycle path, cyclists who do not know the restaurant pass the mostly open "refreshment station" unsuspectingly.

Hence my tip:
Simply cycle a few meters from the cycle path to the center of Zangenstein. Mondays are always closed, but guests are welcome on all other days of the week between 10am and 6pm. Edeltraud, a passionate landlady, provides her guests, who prefer to sit under the awning around the large table in the courtyard, with snacks and drinks. Franz, the landlord, is very knowledgeable about bikes and can help if someone has a problem with their bike.
God preserve us beautiful village inns like that of the Edeltraud and Franz Stockerl families.

The remains of the former hilltop castle from the 14th century tower over the Schwarzach. The tower of the castle chapel, which was "trimmed" to baroque in the 17th century, can be seen from afar.
