Landhotel Eulkretscham

This review is about the Restaurant (not the hotel) of Eulkretscham. It is about an hour's drive SE of Dresden, 1.5km outsideHerrnhut near the eastern border of Germany, close to Poland & Czech Republic. It is in a restored building old with Hotel & Biergarden (the bar was previously a hore stable) Following a day outing to historic Herrnhut from Dresden, we looked for an a good restaurant with authentic German food and were not disapointed. This restaurant has been in this 2nd location restored since 1992. But the original one was further into the forest and began in 1529! (yes, 500+ years). The hotel & bar were added more recently. The restaurant staff were very friendly and efficient; the current owner's daughter spoke good english and explained the history. We ordered wild meats, venison, boar; also the usual schnitzel plus halibut. The food came with red cabbage, saukraut, mashed or boiled potatoes with salads. Together with wine, this was our best meal in Germany. The restaurant is in a forest setting 1.5 km outside the humble setting of Herrnhut village, which in itself is fulll of history of the Moravian Movement by German Zinzendorf. We confess the place is hard to get to. The recommended dish - wild venison & chardonnay.
