Gasthaus Waldheim — Restaurant in Fürstenau

I and three biker pals have returned from a biking trip which started in Italy and travelled a total of 1200 miles (one way home, as we shipped our bikes out to Italy by Road haulage).||We arrived at the Gasthaus Waldheim after quite a demanding ride over a number of extremely beautiful and demanding mountain passes (passing through a tiny hamlet called ‘Bergun’ en route where we stopped for a drink and all were impressed with its beauty. When I return to the area; I will consider stopping here! )||We had stayed at Hotel Gufler the previous evening at Sluderno, Northern Italy (see separate review)||The first thing that impressed all of us was that the hotel restaurant with full with lots and lots of people (probably locals, eating their Sunday Lunch and obviously enjoying it!) – this was indeed a good sign.||We were greeted by who we believe may have been the owners son. A very smart, polite young man who spoke perfect English and insisted we parked our motor bikes in the basement garage after he removed the family car – this was such a nice touch!!||We were shown to our rooms which were spotlessly clean and very Swiss Guest house type rooms.||Our facilities were shared (but we knew that when we booked – so it was no surprise and these were very clean and functional.||We were also pleased to find a welcoming bar. We sat in the beer garden and the same young man served our drinks and provided menus for our evening meals, which were traditional food cooked to perfection for all of us and tasty excellent; followed by a naughty but nice apple strudel with ice cream.||After a good night’s sleep, breakfast the following morning was excellent and offered a choice of hams, cheeses, muesli, yoghurts, with a selection of assorted breads, rolls, croissants and jams together with unlimited tea and coffee.||All in all we all rated our experience as excellent (in spite of shared facilities)||Again a place I would revisit – especially...

This old building looks good from the outside, but inside has been gutted and cheap modernisation been installed. Bedrooms are small, expensive, with no tv, shared loo and bathroom. Noise at dawn is appalling as working people get up and the flimsy structure fails to provide peace. Staff attitudes seemed weird to me, unsmiling and only speaking German (though I discovered they speak some english). When I booked, I found that less than 5 days away you can't cancel. ...
