Pension U Stříbrného Jelena

Our family needed a place to stop overnight between Berlin and Tirol. After checking the prices around the Nuremberg area, we looked over the border into Czechoslovakia. Finding a description of this hotel, we booked and instead of 150 Euros for a night in Germany, paid 50 Euros in Czechoslovakia - well worth the effort of going just a bit out of the way. We couldn't have been more pleased: clean rooms, a very nice family and efficient staff running the place, excellent food and beer (including an entire pig roasting out front as we drove in), and with what the Germans would call gemütlichkeit - comfortable coziness. It is simple, rustic, clean, very comfortable and just what we could hope to find. I don't know that we could have found it without our GPS, as it's a bit off the beaten path, but it was certainly worth the effort. We asked to stay on our return the following week, but unfortunately it was booked (it only has 8 or 10 rooms). We'll certainly stay there again, and we look forward to it. Other than lots of cigarette smoke (this did not effect us in our room), which is simply cultural, it was a great place for us and for the likeminded who seek simpleness and quality.
