For riverside romance in the heart of town, a cozy Danube-side inn and breakfast spot promises the aroma of fresh coffee, a sunny terrace, and a picture-perfect waterfront panorama—equally great for a leisurely breakfast, an afternoon wind-down, or a weekend escape.
Craving mountain-cabin mood without the alpine slog?

It’s easy to forget, once you’ve arrived, that the climb tops out at just 367 meters—this is all atmosphere.
