Café/Gaststätte am Grünen See in Melle

Welcome refreshment on the Wittekindsweg. Between Bad Essen and Rödinghausen the only stop with food on Wittekindsweg. The innkeeper is very relaxed, the café is rustic. Despite the best weather, it wasn't very busy on a summer weekend, there were still plenty of places available, both in the sun and in the shade.

Unfortunately it was closed, but it was in a fantastic location.

We came here on a Sunday with our bikes and stayed for a few hours. Jürgen (the innkeeper) runs this café/restaurant with a lot of heart and moderate prices. Anyone who passes by here should definitely take a quick look, because the green lake is also worth a visit.

This small, idyllic place is a bit hidden, but it's worth taking a break there (opening hours only on Fridays and Sundays). Jürgen’s bratwurst is simply world class 😋
