Romantically situated in the Middle Rhine Valley, at the foot of the castles "The Hostile Brothers" and in direct proximity to the famous pilgrimage monastery Bornhofen, is our family-run restaurant "Das kleine Wirtshaus".
In the historic restaurant, which is partly built directly into the rock and thus offers insight into 400 million years of the Middle Rhine Valley's history inside, up to 50 guests can find a cozy place in a loving and modern ambiance. A sun terrace, which, thanks to its partial roofing, invites you to linger not only in sunshine, offers another 60 guests the opportunity to enjoy delicious meals. Besides the ambiance, we are especially concerned with the quality of the dishes and service. The small inn stands for a creative, varied, and diverse cuisine with modern interpretations of regional dishes while not losing the grounding and sense of home. A seasonally changing menu and seasonally adjusted kitchen events, as well as collaboration with locally based suppliers, underline this corporate philosophy. Attentive but not intrusive, we are happy to assist you in selecting dishes and the matching wine from our wine cellar. It is distinguished by very good, regional, and special wines. A freshly tapped beer, a non-alcoholic refreshing beverage, or a "Rheinsteigwasser" should certainly not be missed. Furthermore, the adventurous landscape in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley offers both adventure and relaxation. After a hike along the well-developed trails, you can recharge with a hearty meal and a cool refreshment at the small inn. Located directly on the Rheinsteig, we also offer suitable options for the demands and wishes of hikers: snack platters, hiking provisions, and much more invite you to take a break. Or would you rather have a piece of apple or cottage cheese strudel and a freshly brewed cup of coffee? Of course, we also place great importance on quality and regionality here.
We look forward to your visit! Family Gablonsky & Team
