Die einzige Kneipe in Ilmenau die sich noch Kneipe nennen darf! Moderate Preise und netter Wirt!

Wir waren zum dritten Mal in der Ferienwohnung zu Gast. Diese ist modern und gemütlich eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, um sich sehr wohl zu fühlen (Highlight ist die große Wellness-Dusche im Bad). Wer mag, kann das Frühstück dazu buchen. Dieses gibt es dann in der gemütlichen, urig eingerichteten Kneipe, in der man zu den Öffnungszeiten abends auch das ein oder andere Bierchen genießen kann. Die Ferienwohnung ist für Radfahrer zu empfehlen, da sie nur wenige Meter neben dem Ilmtal-Radweg liegt. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Liebe Grüße aus Gelsenkirchen
