We are happy to arrange a guided tour for groups or a carriage ride for 2–4 people, complete with wonderful stories told by the coachman — and, if you wish, with homemade cake and coffee.

Relax in the courtyard café with coffee or tea and freshly homemade cakes or a hearty herb soup. You can also get advice on ecological construction, growing and using herbs, and much more.

The café offers 36 seats indoors; in summer, an additional 54 seats are available on a rooftop terrace or in the garden, as well as 64 seats inside the “belly of the Lindworm.”
