Bergbaude Veilchenbrunnen in Zella-Mehlis

Positively surprised by this inviting building with very courteous hospitality, with sentences like "Nice that you visited us!" Where else do you hear something like that? A chat with the guests is simply part of it. Feel-good atmosphere!

Rustic & warm inside, newly roofed outside and with heating barrels.

Traditional mountain lodge with a rustic atmosphere, photos from the turn of the century and old skis on the walls. The food is good, home-style with the best quality at good prices. Always worth a hike.

What a surprise in the middle of the forest. I completely overlooked it when planning my tour of the “Zunft und Kloß” hiking trail. I was even more looking forward to a little refreshment. The apple pie was very tasty. The food at the other tables also looked promising. Many thanks to the nice service at the kiosk and see you again soon! 👌

Without a doubt, very tasty. Quiet and relaxed during the week. You should plan some time every now and then on the weekend. But the food is always very tasty.

The Veilchenbrunnen mountain lodge is highly recommended 👌. The atmosphere is rustic and very inviting. The kitchen is very flexible and enjoyable in the design of the dishes. Always my pleasure.

Beautiful Waldschänke, beautifully located, delicious food and drink. Nice outdoor space. Rustic guest interior.

Despite the full hut 😅 yesterday on the holiday there was a well-rehearsed, smooth and, above all, friendly service. Small menu but good quality food. Beer from the Cross⛰️ is always delicious. The 2 hour journey 🚵🏻‍♂️ over hill and dale was worth it. A little tip: please keep the opening times up to date on Google, this will save you a lot of questions by phone 😉 Best wishes from Kleinschmalkalden 🙋🏻‍♂️🤠🌲🫎

Really cozy building. Everything new.

We can definitely recommend the mountain hut, it serves delicious, freshly prepared food, very friendly service and a rustic ambience.

Always recommended, great food Nice in summer but also in winter to reach on foot or by car

Very nice, rustic mountain lodge. A hike with a stop is always worth it! Staff is always friendly. We'll be back.

Very great atmosphere, food was very good and visually very nicely presented. Prices are ok for a tourist region. Self-service outside but food is brought to the table.

A cozy place to stay after a hike. Great food. Gladly again.

Finally open again for 4 days, various indoor and outdoor dishes, friendly boss

Very nice building, with nice staff and good food. The portions are sufficient and the prices are reasonable.

Very nice destination from Oberhof

The mining lodge is a cozy and inviting place, ideal for a rest after a hike or a trip to the Thuringian Forest. The ambience and friendly service create a relaxed atmosphere in which you immediately feel at home. The menu offers a selection of hearty regional dishes that taste especially good after a day in the fresh air. Overall, a wonderful place to stop for a break for anyone who wants to enjoy nature.

Delicious food and friendly innkeepers.

Unfortunately it was very crowded. The food was good but needed 40. It was a nice hike through the still existing Thuringian Forest. Clear recommendation!

Very nicely located, delicious food and the guys are super nice too

Unfortunately, the non-alcoholic beer is charged with 19% VAT. 7% would be correct.

Beautifully located in the Thuringian Forest. From Oberhof - Rondell it takes a good hour to walk to the building. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. Price-performance fits. It's certainly very cozy inside in winter.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable prices. We stopped for refreshments. The food that was served looked very good ***** there is plenty of space and the building is easily accessible from many directions. We can highly recommend it

We enjoyed the drinks in the cozy beer garden: black beer from the Kreuzberger Klosterbrauerei and Schwarzbacher Radler.

A nice place for a hiking break. Food was very good. We had Solyanka.

Very nice staff, great food and drink menu. Stop by, relax, feel good.

Finally a mountain lodge where you can feel good and eat delicious food.😍

Price performance is ok. Prices for alcoholic drinks great Aperol e.g 5.50 € Great, keep it up We liked it and would love to come back

Nice atmosphere but not a place to stop.

Great location with good food and a cozy atmosphere.

Wednesday lunchtime...there's nothing nicer than spontaneously going to the Veilchenbrunnen restaurant...always nice...especially because the journey is the destination

We were looking forward to a mountain lodge like this! Super nice and courteous staff, great location, extremely tasty food, everyone will find something here! You can sit both inside and outside and be provided with everything your heart desires. We'd love to come back!

Food was great. Great meal deal

Nice location to take a hiking break. Thirst as well as small and large hunger can be quenched.

Great location, great owners - very nice experience. Highly Recommended! Unfortunately we didn't eat anything on site, but I think it will be just as great.

Super nice building. The hosts, including the boss, are simply great and warm. We can only recommend this building. We felt very comfortable. We would be happy to recommend you

This is how a building should be. Great food! Kudos to the kitchen. Simply great for resting. Thank you...great lunch portions at correct prices. Wonderful. Anyone who passes here is missing something!

Unfortunately closed today. But it looks very cozy and clean.

Very friendly staff and delicious food result in Thuringian hospitality, experienced here! World class

We were there in bad weather. The people were very friendly and the best Kaiserschmarrn I've ever had. Thank you, we will definitely come back.

Well selected dishes. There is something for every hiker and cyclist, whether big or small. The team has the building fully under control. Thank you and see you again!

Super cozy, friendly and the food was very good. Highly recommended.

very rustic and cozy, ideal for stopping off, many beautiful hiking trails nearby

Very nice and cozy. Delicious food.

A cozy forest hut invites you to stop off. Friendly staff. Small dishes. Lots of drinks. Very nice.

Very nice and courteous staff in the cozy Veilchenbrunnen. The food was also very tasty!

We recommend. Very friendly staff, very good cuisine. We felt comfortable

VERY friendly welcome from the house cat👍 cozy, rustic atmosphere, VERY friendly staff and very tasty food👍👍👍 Highly Recommended!

Quaint little pub with good food.

Rustic but very good! We stopped by the mountain hut today after a hike. Since the restaurant was very busy, it took a little longer to eat, but it tasted good and we were very satisfied on the way home. We would be happy to come back if we get the chance.

Urige Location mit großem Kuchenangebot. Schnelle Bedienung, geschmeckt hat es auch. Ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Einfach genial und immer wieder gerne *** ein Muss für jeden WANDERER

Hüttenfeeling im Thüringer Wald, wer in Oberhof ist oder auf dem Rennsteig unterwegs kann hier super einkehren! Nette Leute, tolles Essen und bei Musik und tollem Ambiente!

Gemütlich, urig, sehr gutes Essen, netter Wirt, ein guter Ort zum einkehren beim Wandern in Oberhof.

Also wir waren gestern dort essen und möchten uns ganz herzlich bedanken super Essen super Personal und natürlich super Ambiente 👍👍👍

Richtig schönes Restaurant und Café. Tolles Essen und super selbstgemachter Kuchen

Schöner Zwischenstop beim Wandern mit guter Lage. Das Essen ist sehr gut, nur ein bisschen teuer. Um die Mittagszeiten kann es auch mal voll werden, weswegen man lieber etwas früher herkommen sollte.

Tolles Wanderziel und sehr sehr nette Gastwirte.

Der Kirsch-Pudding-Kuchen ist ein Traum.

Lecker Bier, feine Speisen und unschlagbaren Preise! Und allen mitten in unwiderstehlicher Natur des Thüringer Waldes!

Tolle rustikale Lage im Waldambiente. Tolle Speisen.

Ein Muß für jeden Wanderer. Die Rostbrätel sind super lecker. Vielen Dank für die nette Bewirtung 👍

Sehr gut gelegen wenn man von einer Wanderung kommt. Hat alles prima geklappt.

Sehr schöne Bergbaude mit Liebe zum Detail. Ich war zweimal dort und hab mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Getränke und auch die Speisen waren top. Die gefüllten Thüringer Klöße mit Pilzsoße und auch der Kaiserschmarrn....klasse!! Obwohl viel los war, kamen unsere Speisen recht flott. Ihr seid ein gutes Team!!

Sehr gepflegtes Ambiente, qualitativ hochwertige Speisen und für Wanderer jeglicher Art ein Muss.

Tolle, urige Baude für eine Einkehr. Leckeres Essen, gemütliches Ambiente.

Es lohnt sich wieder den Veilchenbrunnen als Wanderziel anzusteuern. Wir sind sehr froh und zufrieden, dass er wieder bewirtet wird, und das auch noch so gut. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Tolle Ausflugsgaststätte. Man kommt nur zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad hin, aber dafür hat man sich dann auch das leckere Essen verdient. Tolle Auswahl und sehr lecker.

Wir sind heute hier beim Wandern vom Rondell Parkplatz vorbei gekommen und haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Die Käsepätzle waren mega und auch die Spinatknödel. Danach auf den Weg noch ein SorbetEis mitgenommen. Definitiv hier wieder einkehren. Bitte nichts am Konzept ändern. So einfach nur perfekt!

Super Waldhütte. Waren an einem heißen Tag hier auf der Terrasse. Sehr leckeres regionales Bier. Und sehr leckeres Essen - so lecker das ich nur noch ein Bild vom leeren Teller habe :-))))

Tolle Bergbaude, klein aber fein. Die neuen Betreiber geben sich sehr viel Mühe. Immer wieder ein Besuch wert, kann man wirklich nur empfehlen👍.

Tolles Ausflugsziel,leckeres Essen.

Haben da Sülze gegessen, einfach lecker, leider kein Foto gemacht, aber es sah alles toll angerichtet aus was sich die anderen bestellt haben, tolle Hausmannskost, ideal fürs weiterwandern😋👍, top

Sehr netter Wirt. Toller Buergarten, gerne wieder!

Ein herzliches Willkommen und leckeres Essen bei einen schönen Ambiente. Man fühlt sich fast wie in den Alpen. Schön, dass auch in Thüringen zu erleben. Danke und weiter so. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr urig und gemütlich. Genial als Einkehr beim Wandern.

Essen schmeckt. Wenn man Schlager und Blassmusik mag .....

Top Bedienung, lockere Atmosphäre...

Sehr gut geeignet zur Rast für Wanderer und Radfahrer

Wir sind immer wieder dort, wenn wir in Oberhof sind. Jedes Mal schön dort, Selbstbedienung mitten im Wald ist völlig in Ordnung. Jederzeit wieder.

Nette kleine Bergbaute, mit guten Essen und netter Bedienung.

Herzliches Wirtepaar, toller Service, super Essen

War eine schöne Einkehr bei unserer Wanderung. Kaltes Radler, thüringer Rostbratwurst oder Kaffee und Kuchen - für jeden was dabei!!!
