My brother moved many years ago from Frankfurt/Main to Ludwigscheit and then to the village of…read moreBreckerfeld. The first time i visited him he told me that we go to have dinner at the Mühlenhof which is known for its home made bread and an old mill that had been dismantled and put back up behind the restaurant. While the mill is an authentic replica of an old working mill, Mühlenhof is a unique restaurant with many cozy niches that almost look like having dinner at someone's home. Every room is different and the attic has actually a 50's display of a dining kitchen. Their food is out of the world. If you like sour sour roast (yes there is a sweet variety too) with huge dumplings and blue cabbage, this is the place.

A unique experience for Americans, while one of the many reasons Germany AND Europe is a great place for good dining.

There are several events, like a summer festival for children, a wine festival in fall, a Christmas fair with really loveable things to buy (mostly handcrafted) and a really awesome atmosphere. You can buy fresh bread from the baker in the museum, fresh roasted coffee beans, and wine and liqueur/brandy made of fruits. All in all a wonderful opportunity for the whole family!
