This review is for our 5-day stay back in 2012... Yeah, I kept saying I'd get around to it…read more
Landhotel Salmen is a small-ish guesthouse, a few miles outside Oberkirch. (You almost certainly need a GPS to find it; ours was on the fritz.) It's family-run, in the best way: Everyone cares about making you happy, and they go out of their way to find out what you need. The guy at the front desk offered to loan us his own GPS, for instance, while we were trying to figure out how to fix ours.
In addition to the breakfast that was included (nothing "wow" by German standards, though I remember it fondly), the kitchen also makes a good traditional dinner, and plenty of locals stop by. Next door is a kirsch distillery, which means you can do some taste-testing and stumble back to your room a little drunkenly. (Also with a few bottles to take home.)
The price was more than reasonable, too. When we get back to the area again, it's going to be our first choice.
