Waren gestern auf der Durchfahrt eingekehrt um was zu trinken. So ein wahnsinnig liebevoll eingerichtetes Café mit zwei Stuben, einer großen, etwas dunklen und einer kleinen, die aussieht wie eine Puppenstube...zum Verlieben. Die zwei Damen hinter der Theke ware n anfangs etwas mißmutig, als wir sie aber auf die tolle Dekoration angesprochen haben, sind sie richtig zugänglich geworden. Wir saßen auf der Terasse mit direktem Blick auf die Nagold. Den Kuchen probieren wir aber bestimmt noch.
