Sepp and Rosi Mustermann have run the inn since 1998. Before them it was the parents, and before that the grandfather. Below is the story, and under it the gallery.
In 1954 Michael Mustermann got permission to serve drinks on the ground floor of his home. The cooking only started two years later, once the Stube was finished. The guest rooms were added in 1968, when the first summer visitors from the Ruhr started coming down to the valley.
In 1979 his son Alois took over with his wife Anni. During their time the attic was converted and four rooms became eight. In 1998 they handed over to Sepp.
We only renovate when something is broken or no longer works. That’s why the list below is short.

Not everything comes from here. Lemons don’t grow in the valley. Where we can, we buy in the village · not because it reads well, but because then you know who to call when something isn’t right.
