Hexenhäusle

Nuremberg


The half-timbered 'Witches Hut' ranks among Nuremberg's most enchanting inns and beer gardens. Tucked next to a sturdy town gate at the foot of the castle, it serves the gamut of grilled fare, dumplings and other Franconian rib-stickers with big mugs of local Zirndorfer and Tucher beer. Also has a small beer garden.
