With the reopening of the historic Tetzelstein forest restaurant, a huge hole has been filled. The Tetzelstein has always been an important meeting point for locals and tourists. With a large car park and situated in the middle of the Elm, numerous hikes and cycle tours through the Elm-Lappwald Nature Park start from here. Information material about the Elm-Lappwald Geopark and Nature Park is available free of charge under the veranda of the restaurant.
The Tetzelstein and a monument to the legend commemorate the indulgence preacher Johann Tetzel. According to legend, Tetzel was robbed at this place by the Knight of Hagen, who had previously bought a letter of indulgence from Tetzel for his later sins. He held this letter under Tetzel's nose before robbing him of the money.
The team at the Waldgaststätte Tetzelstein attaches great importance to regional and seasonal products and also offers a vegetarian menu.
On public holidays, the Waldgaststätte is open from 11.30 am to 5.00 pm.
