Berggasthof Moritzberg in Röthenbach a.d.Pegnitz

I would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful evening on December 10, 2025. Also on behalf of my companion. Your Schäufele (pork shoulder) was incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection. Your Silvaner was also superb. It was almost too good to drive home! 😁 Your restaurant is very charming and wonderfully cozy. Everything was to our complete satisfaction. We are also very grateful that we were allowed to visit the tower later in the evening. Your permission was a pleasant surprise. We would love to come back again and wholeheartedly recommend your restaurant. See you again soon! 🤩

A small, cozy restaurant with good food. However, don't be surprised if not everything listed on the daily specials menu is available after 1 p.m. Delicious food and attentive service are guaranteed. Please note: It's about a 15-minute walk from the parking lot, partly uphill. But it's well worth the walk.

Service was good. Food was forgettable.

A totally rustic location, and absolutely delicious food

Great food and friendly staff, spontaneously stopped there after a hike, highly recommended

Nice location. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat anything because it's closed on Tuesdays. I would expect the hosts to respect everyone, male and female, equally. The pictogram to the right of the restroom door suggests otherwise.

Unfortunately, we can't post anything positive... We wanted to have a delicious meal here... but since August 25, 2025, we've been closed until September 16, 2025... unfortunately, there's nothing to read about it online... very, very, very annoying 😡

So for 18.90, you already got a larger scoop on your plate. But it's already been done. For service, only a * because it's self-service.

Moritzberg itself is always worth a hike. The restaurant and its operators still have a lot to learn... Even if the church fair is simply postponed for purely economic reasons (which, of course, always involves several parties, such as the church and the town of Röthenbach), all food must be available at least until 10:30 a.m., even with very few visitors. It's unacceptable that the white sausages are already sold out by then. (At least the line at the counter quickly cleared up.) Alternatively, a bratwurst roll for €5.50... Unfortunately, the rolls used were at least from yesterday and had been baked. Absolutely not. Conclusion... Beautiful hike in perfect weather. Best if you're self-catering.

Super tasty beer, friendly service.

The day we were there, there wasn't much going on. See you next time, The Frankfurters 😁

Unfriendly service. The food had no seasoning. I wanted to order something for my little one, but there were neither fries nor mashed potatoes. I can't recommend it.

A quaint inn with a beer garden run by two very friendly owners. Perfect for a stopover after a strenuous climb.

It's simply beautiful up there. Everything is fantastic!

A cozy beer garden surrounded by greenery, easily accessible via a short but steep hike from the Moritzberg parking lot, and easily combined with a longer hike through beautiful nature. The menu is very small; the liver dumpling soup starter and Bavarian cream dessert taste relatively ordinary. The main courses, however, are excellent: schnitzel and bratwurst are excellent, but the absolute highlight is the baked liver. However, the portions are all quite small, especially the side dishes. Hot food is served all day; we are almost the only guests in the afternoon, and we are served accordingly quickly. The restrooms are well-maintained, although the facilities are obviously older.

A very beautiful, traditional inn. Unfortunately, the outdoor area has become increasingly disrepaired.

Unfortunately, card payments aren't accepted, and the German flag flying is a bit off-putting. It's actually obvious that we're in Germany, and as far as I know, there wasn't an international competition going on, and it's probably not German Unity Day either. A colorful flag for community, diversity, tolerance, and solidarity would be more inviting. But they have friendly operators, good food, and a playground, and the prices are reasonable for today's standards and the quality offered. Thank you very much for that.

The atmosphere was perfectly fine, as always. The music was really good too. But sorry, folks. €8.90 for a small plate of sausage with music? Those are some seriously good prices. Coke and water together, no deposit... €9.

Prices are unfortunately abysmally high these days... a mini portion of Kaiserschmarren and a 0.33l Coke for €12... sausage salad on a cake plate for €8.90. Unfortunately, it wasn't even tasty. Drinks were also too expensive for a self-service beer garden. The beer benches and tables were in a terrible state. Today, on Father's Day, at least there was good music and the staff were friendly. Will our large group be back?!? Not really; it's lost its good reputation.

The Moritzberg belongs to Middle Franconia, like the Stadtwurscht and the Schäuferle.

Moritzberg is worth a hike, it's a shame that the observation tower is overgrown and you only have trees in front of you, you go for the view of the mountain

Hello, my dears It was a great birthday celebration Very final score for everyone, great service, great, very nice location, ideally quiet The 20 minute drive was worth it. Highly recommended for celebrations and cozy get-togethers. Greetings Uwe

The mountain inn deserves five stars! The staff is always super nice, today there were three super nice waitresses there again! The bratwursts are always great, but today the cabbage was somehow almost fresh. It was probably already out before that...

Very nice beer garden and quaint restaurant

Most beautiful beer garden in the area

All time favorite place 🥰 Bratwursts - best with savoy cabbage 😋 a dream...

Food is wonderful and you feel like you are with friends, the journey alone is worth stopping by, if you eat something then the day is perfect.

The best place to relax after a hike on the Moritzberg. Very good beer, delicious food and very friendly service. Franconian, honest, good!

Got raw sour bratwursts (Sour Zipfel). That can happen. However, when I complained, I was told that the pink color came from the meat through the broth. My concern was not addressed. A solution was only found by a capable service employee.

Idyllic mountain inn with a rustic restaurant. Traditional cuisine, coffee and cake in the afternoon. You can also register here to visit the Moritzberg Tower.

Very nice restaurant, only accessible on foot. Great location for celebrations in a rustic, cozy atmosphere. Service very good, considering the large number of guests, respect!

Nice mountain inn on the Moritzberg. Unfortunately very often overcrowded. Large outdoor area. The toilets are in the annex.

Full, tight, good, that's within normal limits. But poorly to barely ventilated, stuffy. There are hardly any drinks on the menu. Dirty and sticky table, heavily soiled seats. We left again. Disappointing.

An idyll in the middle of nature.

Very nice, historic mountain inn. We are with 30 people. Hiked to the Moritzberg, 4 tables were reserved for us in the next room, the service for the drinks was quick, but unfortunately they hardly had any roast meat or other food left (the roast beef was out) because they were closed the next day. The roast pork was unfortunately tasteless, apart from the herb edge. The Kaiserschmarrn was good, the Zoigl beer was very tasty. There are several music evenings throughout the year. But when it comes to eating, you really shouldn't rest on the fact that the guests are coming anyway... I don't know if I want to eat here again, which is a shame.

Very cozy excursion inn that can only be reached on foot. The Schäuferle and the bratwurst are highly recommended.

Perfect place for a break on the Moritzberg while hiking or mountain biking.

Very nice, rustic excursion restaurant on the Moritzberg. The climb is a bit difficult, but worth it. The Bauernstube (the dining room) is practically an open-air museum. Totally lovingly furnished and really old. The innkeepers are super nice, open and friendly. There is also a very nice beer garden in summer, but the restaurant is also open in the winter months. There is a parking space, but it's still a bit uphill from there. But you can also do well in e.g. B. Reuth park and hike up in about 40 minutes.

We had my birthday party at Moritzberg last weekend. What can I say? Great ambience, great food and great service Many thanks to Bina and everyone else. The musicians were also just great!

Always worth a visit 👍🏻 Top service 👍🏻 food top 👍🏻

It used to be better. Now more chic and higher prices. Too bad.

Small, cozy restaurant, almost like being on a mountain pasture.

A historic mountain inn surrounded by forest. After a leisurely climb up the Moritzberg, we stopped here at the mountain inn for refreshment. Since we didn't eat, I'll only rate the ambience and staff here. The mountain inn consists of a historic building with a beer garden. The restaurant in the building makes a very cozy impression. There is an old church next door, everything is surrounded by dense forest, so it's almost like sitting in a courtyard. The atmosphere is definitely very cozy. If you want to sit in the beer garden, place your order at the kitchen window. We sat down in a small greenhouse in the beer garden, which offers protection in the wet and cold season if you want to sit in the beer garden. I think it's a great idea. The boss of the house then asked us to work with him to set up another greenhouse, so that a total of two of these houses now offer a dry place for around 10 - 14 people. The staff was very friendly overall, so I would come back at any time.

Rustic inn at the top of the Moritzberg. When the weather is nice, you can enjoy a gigantic view from the tower of the Nuremberg region and Nuremberg

Simply very beautiful. Stopping here on the hike is really highly recommended. Hearty meals, freshly prepared. In the lovingly comfortably furnished dining room with fireplace. We enjoyed it very much.

As I have often had a wonderful evening there with good food! We also got a torch for the descent 🙏🏼

Celebrated with around 20 people (this time) in the beautifully decorated side room. Absolutely recommended, cozy, all culinary wishes fulfilled. Service professional, “warmly rustic” and attentive. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Many thanks to the whole team for the successful celebration.

Super delicious food, fast service, cozy dining room inside. :-)

Very nice location, ideal for a trip and to linger under the shady trees. The range of food on offer is manageable but there is definitely something for everyone

We ordered some bratwurst who did not arrive after 20mins and we had to ask several times for it. The quality of the food was very poor. The beer was very nice and it is a beautiful spot to walk to.

Really great inn with very nice service and delicious food! The Kerwa there was really nice those days too :)

Beautiful inn on the Moritzberg with very good food and drink, idyllic beer garden framed by the chapel and the observation tower. Always friendly and relaxed service. There are many ways to get to the mountain, each path has something special. And after the climb you look forward even more to the delicious food and drink.

Very nice service and the Kaiserschmarrn was super tasty and served in the morning at 10.30 a.m. Thank you again for that

I have visited the mountain inn very often. Friendly service even when the entire beer garden is full. Delicious, regional food at an upscale price. You can sit here in the nice shade under the trees in the middle of nature on the Moritzberg. Therefore, in my opinion, a higher price is justified. At the weekend, a table reservation is an advantage because there are many cyclists and hikers.

After 500m from the parking lot along a steep street to the beer garden, good food and cool drinks reward the effort. Nice shady spots, prices a little more expensive than the last visit. But that's generally the case. Nice: Consistently warm food, so you don't have to pay attention to the clock, just your stomach :o)

Good excursion restaurant in a beautiful location.

Very nice service .. great food .. best Schäuferle 🤩🤩🤩

Of course, as a “local,” I know the Moritzberg and its inn very well from my childhood. Still been up there for the first time in many years. Beautiful little beer garden in the ensemble between the inn and church. Friendly operators, because there is no service in the actual sense, as it is self-service with a “vibrator”. The menu is very manageable, but sufficient for the location. Ordered schnitzel with potato and mixed salad. Short waiting time. Nicely prepared. Taste perfect, quantity OK. Too expensive at €16.70 due to self-service. Therefore no more points. Unfortunately, one generally has to say that the catering industry is currently dismantling itself: Like me, more and more people are cooking for themselves. Unfortunately, the observation tower was not open.

No card payment otherwise quite nice.

The beer garden is really very nice, the menu only offered pork plus Kässpatzen and Kaiserschmarrn and the bratwursts were terribly bad. It's unbelievable that there are such bad bratwursts in Franconia. Unfortunately we weren't happy with the food.

Today we were at the Berggasthof Moritzberg after riding our bikes up. The inn has a rustic interior and also a small, beautiful beer garden. The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly and accommodating. The menu is small but nice and there are also additional daily/weekly specials apart from the regular menu if you ask. Price-performance ratio is definitely right here. If you are ever in the area, stop by the inn. We can absolutely recommend him.

If you're in the mood for a steak roll for 8 euros or want to enjoy an outrageously small portion of sauerkraut for 4.50 €... you've come to the right place... if it at least tasted good... the steak was almost smaller than the dried out Kaiser roll in which it was lying....also worth mentioning is the city sausage with music (I think for 11€)...well I mean the meat sausage with water...because unfortunately there wasn't much music... In any case, it's a clever business model up there...a steep climb where you can exert yourself and then get ripped off at the top...Moritzberg won't see us again.....

Always worth it. Even live music with bratwurst and beer. What more do you want. It might be a little cheaper, but still nice

I think 6 euros for a bratwurst roll is excessive... but if you want to pay that...

If you fancy a beer for €5.50 and a bratwurst roll for €6, this is the place for you.

We were very happy that this beer garden was also open during the week. It's just nice to be able to stop off after a hike. Everything was clean, the service was very friendly and quick and the prices were absolutely right.

The outdoor spaces are very nice and protected by parasols. The playground is large and children can play there safely. Unfortunately we sat inside and there wasn't enough space for the number of people there were. The Schäufele was good, the sauce was too thin and the dumpling unfortunately sat in the pot a little too long. The schnitzel was very good. Unfortunately not the beer. I actually like the Kitzinger, but it wasn't carbonated enough. The service was very attentive and friendly. All in all 3-4 stars. There is still room for improvement, but I would still try again.

Great little restaurant with a beer garden. Good Franconian cuisine

Short stop on my bike tour. Very tasty, hearty food, good beer, nice and rustic. Perfect for hikers.

A small, cozy old restaurant on the Moritzberg. There is a lookout tower, church and many hiking trails nearby. The restaurant offers good cuisine and there is a beer garden outside.

Very cozy place, and great food.

Home cooking. Schäuferle, Kaiserschmarrn and home-baked cheesecake are highly recommended. Gladly worth a visit again.

Beautiful old-fashioned mountain inn with friendly innkeepers and fantastic food. A must stop if you are hiking here

Beautiful hiking destination, good Franconian cuisine.

Spontaneous hike and stop, first outside, then inside in the cozy room. Delicious, freshly made sour bratwurst. Apparently there are a lot of regular guests, reservations are advisable for groups.

It's like being in a mountain hut. Very homely and cozy and always something going on. In summer the beer garden outside is also nice. Children's playground next door.

Great ambience and delicious food. Definitely worth a hike.

Also, der Sauerbraten war sehr lecker. Ein uriger Ort mit einer guten Küche. Das Bier schmeckt auch, was will man mehr an einem schönen Wintertag

Top Schäuferla. Sehr lecker und ein freundlicher Service. Wir kommen wieder

Essen war nicht besonders, der Kaiserschmarrn bekommt von 10 Punkten, 2

Total urig, echtes Berghüttengefühl. Superleckere Käsespätzle und supersuperlecketer Kaiserschmarrn. 👍😋

Ein uriger Gasthof zum einkehren nach einer Wanderung.

Eine urige Berggaststätte mit vielen stammgästen und einem ausgezeichneten Service da wird der Beruf Bedienung geliebt. Hund auch willkommen Danke sehr gerne wieder. Hausberg der Nürnberger

Habe nur etwas getrunken, die einzige Bedienung war sehr freundlich, aber unglaublich im Stress.

Toller Service, alle sehr nett. Essen ist lecker.

Hochzeit und Silberhochzeit am Berg verbracht. Viel los, aber schee und goud wors . Wir kommen wieder vor der goldenen.

Rustikales Ambiente, gutes fränkisches Essen. Schäuferle mit "krachiger" Kruste.

Ja die historische Location auf den Moritzberg bei Leinburg ist schon alleine wegen des Hindenburgturmes, früher als Bismarckturm bezeichnet, sehenswert. Anscheinend gibt es da auch eine Kirche, die habe ich jedoch zu spät entdeckt. Kaffee und Kuchen schauten sehr gut aus und es waren viele Gäste da. Die Gebäude haben mir sehr gut gefallen. Ich komme sehr gerne wieder.

Toller kleiner Biergarten mit leckerem Essen, Bier vom Fass und viel Platz für Fahrräder. Man wird sehr freundlich bedient und kann sich perfekt erholen nach dem steilen Fahrradanstieg.

Wunderschönes Gasthaus, vor allem mit Spielplatz für die Kleinen. Kommen wieder.

Ausblick von Turm in allen Seiten.

Gaststätte mit Biergarten am Gipfel des Hausberges von Nürnberg.

Uriges Plätzchen für eine Rast. Essen ist hervorragend und für Kinder gibt es einen Spielplatz. Wenn man den Aufstieg geschafft hat, geniest man das Bier oder Radler ganz anders als wenn man einfach nur zum Essen fährt. Toiletten sind super sauber 👍

Hab vor kurzen meinen runden Geburtstag gefeiert, ist eine echt einmalige Feier geworden. Mit einem selbst angestochenen Fass Bier konnte ich die Feier eröffnen, unsere 43 kleinen und großen Gäste passten perfekt in einen der zwei gemütlichen Gasträume, Kinder konnten wir draußen laufen lassen, da ja keinerlei Autoverkehr, dafür aber viel Platz und Spielplatz zum austoben. Auch eine Turmbesichtigung haben wir nach dem leckeren Essen gemacht. Alle Gäste waren voll des Lobes über die schöne Feier, wir hatten aber auch Glück mit dem Wetter. Für mich ein eindeutiger Geheimtipp für solch eine Feier, die Preise gehen auch in Ordnung. Freu mich auf die nächsten Besuche auf dem Moritzberg, großen Dank ans Gastwirtsteam!

Kleines sehr ansprechendes Restaurant. Essen war sehr lecker und der Service war freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Nach dem kleinen Aufstieg wartet ein lauschiger Biergarten, gutes Bier & bestes Essen. Kommen immer wieder.

Wir waren kurz hintereinander als Gruppe dort - einmal bei gutem Wettet im wunderschönen Biergarten und kurz darauf bei Regen in einer der Stuben. Der Service ist schnell und zuvorkommend, die Speisenauswahl gut (leider gab es beim zweiten Besuch bereits Mittags kein Schäuferle mehr). Ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

Das leckerste Schäufele im Raum Nürnberg bis jetzt für mich! Der Aufstieg lohnt sich!!

Wer dort hin Wandert, Radelt oder ähnliches wird ein tolles und lohnenswertes Ziel entdecken mit Ambiente und leckerem Essen und Getränken. 🥳🏡🍻

Schöner Gasthof auf dem Moritzberg. Wir haben dort auf halber Strecke einer Wanderung etwas getrunken. Ambiente und Bedienung auch sehr freundlich.
