"Away from large cities, this is a gem to enjoy the Austrian countryside. Free parking and friendly staff. So nice to get away from Vienna. There’s a cave, just a short drive away that’s kind of a local secret. Food was very good as well with all the classics you expect from Gasthaus. Would definitely recommend this place."
