Warteck

The Black Forest


In the capable hands of the Glässel family since 1894, this hotel sports modern, gleamingly clean rooms. The real draw, however, is the elegant wood-panelled restaurant (mains €14.50 to €39), serving market-fresh fare such as beetroot tortellini and rack of venison with wild mushrooms.
