Local tip 01
Good morning sunshine – the best brunch around the corner
Fancy a slice of blueberry cheesecake? A freshly squeezed orange juice, your breakfast egg soft-boiled or poached? Then brunch at “das Wilten” is exactly your place – from Apartment Joseph and Maria it is precisely a three-minute walk from bed to breakfast table.
“Das Wilten” is, for us, the best breakfast spot in town: properly good coffee and lovingly composed brunch variations. If it runs long, simply stay for lunch – and after a stroll through the centre, head on towards happy hour.
