Hotel-Gasthof Zum Döhlerwald Inh. Peter Förster

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.

We spent three nice days there. Have good sleep and can enjoy the nice breakfast. There was nothing wrong here! Dinner was crazy, we recommend the Sauerbraten and the Roulade. And last but not least: The host is nice, giving tips on what you want more. Here we come back. Thanks and greetings from Leipzig New Zealand, Mario Peggy

In the restaurant there is very good food, a plentiful selection of drinks as well as a nice, friendly and helpful service. In the outdoor area there is a small but fine terrace.

We have classics here. Eat German and that was fine. Pretty pricey and easy parking. Friendly staff.

Super delicious food, very beautifully dressed, because the eye also eats. Good value for money.
