Höhengasthaus Herbstwasen

I was hiking around and passed by this place for a drink. The options are limited as they only serve cake and drinks (beer and sparkling options) 🍻 However, dinner is served later around 7 pm. The service is a bit slow but friendly. The place and corridors have a homey, oldies vibe. The place is very quiet and has a beautiful view. Outdoors, you can see the mountains in front of you. I tried the blueberry cake and it was good. It's a good place for some rest and a quick drink.

We love an afternoon or evening on the terrace at Herbstwasen. We have tried several things from the menu and they have always been delicious. It's a great place to refuel after hiking the Wiesensteig or to just go there and enjoy the food and view.

Very disappointed now to be honest. I can understand but don't agree with ripping off tourists who probably won't come back anyway. But locals? Despite the reduction in VAT the prices have increased significantly since they reopened, for example a €6 ice cream is now €7,50 and it is across the board. We asked for the menu to check deserts and saw the €6 price so went with it. Upon receiving the bill we were a bit shocked so questioned the increases and were told "It's because of Corona, you weren't supposed to see the price list." There are no signs to say you will pay a massive 25% surcharge because of Corona so you don't have the chance to make your own decisions. We've been waiting since lockdown began to be able to get back but now they've blown it, we won't return as there is a restaurant owned by a 5 star hotel just s couple of kilometres away that is much cheaper. Sorry, screw the tourists if that is your preference but screw the regulars who support you through the winter months and you know where you can shove your restaurant. Also the tables weren't being disinfected quickly so some people arrived to sit at dirty tables and at no time were we checked to see if we had completed the online registration for tracing purposes. People without mobile phones didn't register at all so the restaurant is something of s Corona black hole. I know this complaint is 100% Corona related and under more normal circumstances it would never have happened, but we are currently not in s normal world.
