リッセンドルフの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

When we visited on Saturday, July 19, 2025, it was closed at around 2:00 PM, even though the opening hours outside stated "Saturday 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM." ;-( It's a shame, because we were looking forward to a delicious meal based on the good reviews.

The building, the "Old Forge", now serves as a village community center and event location. But as the name suggests, the 19th century building was once used to practice a very old craft that was an essential part of any village at the time. As the craft lost more and more importance in the 20th century, the craft was abandoned and the old building became vacant. In the 1980s, the property was purchased by the town of Hillesheim and extensively renovated in 1981. Since then, it has served as the center of the village for the residents of Bolsdorf.

Nice old stone house with a small beer garden, nice place to linger.

Shelter with picnic table and benches.

Unfortunately no longer open, a successor is being sought.

Cozy and beautifully located place to stop in Bolsdorf. But as far as I know only open on weekends.

Wonderful stop. Tarte flambée, waffles, cakes and an extensive selection of drinks. Unfortunately, the operators will close on December 31, 2023 for health reasons.
