"Already at one of my previous stays in Klingenthal I stood in front of closed doors in the Döhlerwald on Wednesday, so I returned there on Tuesday. The outside door only led into a hallway with an info box with brochures to take away. On the right is a door called “Gaststube”. When I arrived, some of the guests present greeted me, the barn standing behind the vault and pinched beer remained quiet and did not pay attention. Three tables near the entrance door were occupied, so I looked for a table more in the background and took place. It then took two rounds with drinks at the other tables until the host came to me, greeted me with a tight “good evening!” and gave me the menu. The offer includes carvings, steaks, local cuisine, wild dishes, fish and vegetarian offers, each on one side, at prices between approx. 8, and 12, €. While I was still studying the map, the host came back to my table and asked, “Do you want to drink something?” I ordered a non-alcoholic yeast beer (0.5l for 2.20 € and she disappeared to inject the beer. In the meantime I had made my choice, and when she brought the beer a little later, I ordered "Leberknödelsuppe "Döhlerwald" (3,10 € and "Försterhaus Schnitzel, two cut chips of cream mushrooms and bacon strips on roast potatoes" (11,60 €). The ceiling of the guest room is designed with artistically diagonal profile boards, which are laid in alternating directions with intermediate beams of pine, with the wood being golden. On the floor are octagonal large tiles with small square inserts, both in a broken red tone. The furniture is consistently in “light oak”, with benches along the walls and chairs towards space, both with darkly patterned seat cushions. The tables were covered with white fabric tablecloths, gold-colored middle blankets. On each table stood a tulip in a glass vase, also salt and pepper shaker and a tealight in the glass. An old iron sewing machine table stood in the middle of the room as a flower stool. After some time the host came back and brought a dish with a beer jug, in it cutlery and napkin. With the other hand she served the soup. They looked very good, the two dumplings almost filled the soup sour, the whole was marveled with fresh parsley. The first point with the spoon clearly showed that it was not an industrial product. Nicely loose and tasteful, as well as the broth, the soup was really very good, only the piece TK vegetables on the floor would be better left out. When the emptied soup sauce was cleaned, the host asked: “Was it good?” which I wanted to confirm to her. Overall, it was regularly baptized with increasing duration of my stay and finally really friendly. After a small break – I had already heard the knocking of the Schnitzels and could now observe the young cook during preparation through the open kitchen door – the main dish was then served. Two medium-sized chips lay like a roof over the roast potatoes, on the bacon strips, on both sides a crumb of crumb and finally in the middle of the salad. The scavengers were of very good quality, tender and juicy, apart from a small fat cub. Bratkartoffeln, otherwise often a stone of robbery, came here very well with bacon and onions, and on practically every piece was one, although small, roasting place. The cream mushrooms were prepared with fresh mushrooms, overall the composition was harmonious and rustic. Conclusion: If you can look beyond the initially a little bearded hostess, a highly recommended restaurant with delicious food at moderate prices. Maybe she had a bad day, but I'd go back there."

"Like a few times before, I had relocated to this hotel. In the evening I had no desire to go big and decided to eat at the hotel's restaurant, which I had a good memory of delicious local cuisine from previous visits. When entering the little occupied place, I was greeted relatively friendly by an employee behind the counter, but there was no table assignment. So I sought a free table between numerous “reserved” signs and took place. After a walk with drinks to another table, the young man came to me and gave me the menu. On his question about my drink request, I asked for a dark beer, but he told me that this is not currently in the touch and he could only offer me a black beer from the bottle. During my entire presence in the restaurant, his appearance, as with previous visits in this house, was always friendly and accommodating. He also had a good look at the now well-stocked restaurant, and there were no significant waiting times. Food The offer of the house includes petty-bourgeois cuisine as well as original vogtland dishes, which are mostly only offered at lunchtime (other than previous visits. Unfortunately, the map is not on the restaurant's homepage. The two dishes of the Vogtland cuisine on the evening pass did not irritate me, I decided to bake for “big medallions with cheese, with fries and salad set” (12,40 €). So it became a kernel black beer from the bottle (0,5l for 3,00 € . The beer was served shortly afterwards, a little later the waiter brought cutlery and napkin. After a waiting period appropriate to the well-stocked restaurant, the waiter brought the plate with my food. Three beautiful pork medallions were well gratined with cheese, along with one serving of fries and also a supplement salad. It consisted of a few fresh ingredients, but mostly inlaid. The fries were fresh, hot and crispy, the meat tender and tasty. The size of the portion was completely sufficient for my appetite. So far everything was in order, regrettably just that the Western (Wild courts with the typical clubs were not available in the evening. Ambience The decor is rustic, but the wooden tone is mostly bright oak. In part, the walls were covered high in this type of wood. The chairs had seat and back cushions, which were covered with bright, patterned fabric. On the tables there was only one middle blanket in Karmesinrot, on which there was a small porcelain vase with a flower, along with salt and pepper mills. Cleanliness The guest room was well maintained and clean, even with glasses, plates and cutlery there was no reason to complain. I didn't visit the toilet."
