Gasthaus Zur Wegscheide in Ohrdruf

One of the unfriendly innkeepers I have ever experienced. We weren't allowed to use the toilet despite being offered to pay €1 each for flushing the toilet. The innkeeper was half-freaked out because we had the audacity to politely ask for a toilet. I think that everyone has been in the situation of having to relieve themselves and I find that absolutely impossible! The roster used to be much better, but I will never stop there again anyway because of how unfriendly it is.

So we have been there many times before the Autobahn 71 existed from 2001 to ???. You had to take the Gotha exit on Autobahn 4 to get to Oberhof or Suhl and the path inevitably led past the large parking lot at the crossroads, where you can get delicious Thuringian grilled sausages from the charcoal grill every lunchtime. This year we were traveling to Suhl again and we deliberately didn't turn onto Autobahn 71, but took the old route because of the bratwurst. We discovered that after 23 years the same grill master was still there and sold us the delicious bratwursts. 😋😋😋😋👍👍👍👍

I was just on the outside of the gridiron. Was super tasty. 😋

Located on the road on the way to Oberhof. Always good for a Thuringian Bratwurst or a Rostbrätel 😋👍 Large parking lot opposite.

Worst bratwurst I've ever eaten. Half raw and lovingly twisted with your fingers 🤢 It's a shame to sell something like that.

Not recommended if only the grill stand is open. You're not even allowed to go to the toilet here because the restaurant is only open on weekends. Unfriendly staff. You can save yourself.

Delicious Thuringian bratwurst and, as it should be, fried on a charcoal grill.

Unfortunately, the advertised plum cake was sold out. Very nice older gentleman who served us expertly. Parking and hiking trail right in front of the door.

Normal quiet parking. 45 passed calmly... Nearby is a forest... Nature... I didn’t go to the cafe. A burger that costs a kilo of meat is too much. There is no toilet, but who needs one when there is a forest nearby? )))

Rustic atmosphere but great food!

Wonderfully located, just before Oberhof. Friendly, fast service. Great Thuringian bratwurst. However, for 4.80 in hand?

Instead of a restaurant, only a snack bar with a beer garden without a toilet. Question about toilet was refused. First it said there was no toilet, then it said the restaurant was closed. And last but not least, when I asked where they relieved themselves, they said they didn't need a toilet. A beer garden with drinks and alcohol served without a toilet in 2024 is not possible. Where is the building authority and health authority? Never experienced such unfriendly innkeepers. 1 star is still too much.

The food would be super delicious. I would eat there again at any time.

Experienced Thuringian inhospitability!! On September 20th, 2024, around 3 p.m., we decided to come from Oberhof to stop at the “Wegscheide” inn. Since the restaurant didn't open until 4 p.m. according to the display, we decided to buy our food and drinks at the self-service counter and at the bratwurst rack in order to consume them in the adjacent "beer garden". It was surprising that the wheat beer wasn't poured and only a beer mug was provided. There was no glass at all for the apple spritzer, a plastic bottle with a tight screw cap; upon request, a paper cup was handed out, rudely. Then we entered the “beer garden”, which was unkempt, unclean and carelessly designed. Now it became clear to us why the many other guests were eating their food and drinks standing up. After eating I had a (urgent) human need and asked the roaster on the grate for a toilet, "detailed" answer - closed, my request to make accessibility possible, answer ask the boss where is the boss, silently pointing to the right. Asked the supposed boss about using the toilet, answer as before. My question: should I relieve myself in the bushes of the “beer garden”, answer: you can do that, we have nothing against that. I think I unintentionally became a little annoyed and an authoritarian lady intervened in the conversation. And she had an ingenious solution to my problem: just go to Oberhof or Luisenthal, there are public toilets and you'll never have to set up shop here again, we don't need your sales, and she disappeared into the hinterland without saying anything else. So, quickly into the car, to the nearest forest path, armed with a pack of speed tissues... the beer garden was too public for me and not nice enough, because Thuringia is a friendly hiking country.

Delicious steak with potato salad. It was very relaxing to sit in the beer garden.

Very guest friendly and very good food and very good value for money very cozy very good service boss very customer friendly always happy to recommend 😉

We were at the street sale, it tasted really delicious. Everyone is very nice here. Very clean. Keep it up!!!

If at least one public toilet were available. The bratwursts are good, but that's about it. The crossroads won't be there for much longer.

Good morning, It's always a pleasure to stop here on your motorbike to enjoy two or three bratwursts 👍

The food was very tasty, we had beef roulade with Thuringian dumplings and red cabbage, everything was homemade, the service was very friendly and quick, we will definitely be back

very nice service, excellent food, good prices

Went here for the first time and had a treat. Venison roulade with chanterelles, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Many thanks to the chef. We'll be back! Staff was very friendly.

A wonderful beer garden on our hike and very good Thuringian bratwursts, a must if you pass here.

If you're ever in Thuringia, you should take a break there too. The bratwurst was super delicious!

Unfortunately roasted meat without onion, potato salad was ok, but it can't be that there is no toilet, Only from 4 p.m. when the restaurant opens. An impossibility!

Th.Bratwurst highly recommended but staff very unfriendly

A wonderful rustic forest restaurant as a resting point on a long hike, with really tasty food and friendly hospitality. The asparagus soup was divine 🫶

The sea bass is incredibly delicious. The salad served with it is gigantic. All ingredients were fresh and lovingly prepared ❤️ We had a wonderful meal and will definitely come back. Thank you 🫶

Very tasty inexpensive food. The Rostbrätel is highly recommended!

We were eating at the snack bar. The bratwurst was great. I would love to come here again

Very old, there is only a snack outside during the week, probably due to the lack of staff.

I was traveling by motorcycle during the week. If I asked if there was anything to eat here, I would be yelled at if I couldn't read, self-service only. In addition, the toilets were closed. The grilled sausages on the grill were wrinkled and looked noble (from yesterday). I continued driving.

Extremely nice service and really good food!

An outdated inn in which the lack of staff is also noticeable.

Bratwurst with rolls for 3.80 euros. I actually think it's exaggerated. But tastes very good.

The rating refers to the outdoor dining, as the restaurant itself was closed.

Known for the Thuringian Bratwurst, which is grilled in front of the building. You should try them. Unfortunately not always open.

Best bratwurst far and wide. We recommend. Already existed in GDR times. The only thing I would like to point out is that it would be nice if the prices for hot meals relating to the restaurant were listed in the showcase. There are only offers for food without a price. That's why we didn't go in. But the roster is very good.

Top traditional Thuringian bratwurst from the charcoal grill!!

The bratwursts at the Wegscheide near Oberhof are always an experience. I love coming here to eat bratwurst.

Bratwurst and Brätl are super tasty. Highly recommended for lingering and a quick stop at the grill.

Today in rainy weather we tramped from the Ohra Dam to the crossroads and the long-awaited Thuringian bratwurst was just ready on the grill. Yummy . I always go to the snack bar when I'm nearby on my MTB and I've never been disappointed. Always fresh and delicious like at home. Today, July 18th, 24, I ate 2 bratwursts and a pilsner with them. Perfect

a great bratwurst on the way into thueringa forrest ...perhaps 1 of the best in the state!

I love their Thuringian Rostbratwurst and their potato salad. Self-service, but always friendly. Located right on the street

Here you can often take an hour detour for a great bratwurst 😁, you see me again and again.

The best Thuringian bratwursts 👍👍

An expensive snack bar with a beer garden. Use of the toilet was refused on the grounds: We are a snack bar and don't need a toilet. But beer garden? Do yourself a favor and drive by quickly!!!

Very nice, courteous service, rustic restaurant and very tasty food. We were just passing through and were therefore very pleasantly surprised. We'd love to come back if the opportunity arises.

Discovered the inn by chance. Roulades with dumplings were delicious. There was even extra sauce. I have never witnessed anything like this. Great service and great food.

Super tasty roasts from the local butcher in fresh rolls from the charcoal grill. There is no more Thuringia for hikers and guests. Plus a fresh one from the barrel.

The Rostbrätel was very small and bland for the price. We waited in a short line and the service was very quick and polite. Someone in front of me got a large roast meat, which convinced me to take one too, which was only half the size in comparison.

Delicious Thuringians and Rostbrätel! Nice people there! Simply good and always worth a stop!!!

I really thought that you could eat a decent Thuringian bratwurst here. But unfortunately none. In terms of taste, it's an absolute zero. It only tastes like fat without anything reminiscent of bratwurst. Very unfortunate. ☹️

The sausage was very tasty and the service was quick. The very busy street does not invite you to linger. Large parking lot.

That's how it has to be! Tradition 👍 Food was super tasty 😋

The bratwurst there was super tasty, and a dash of mustard was wonderful

Great rest area with the tastiest bratwurst far and wide.

I can only repeat what has already been written: the tone of the bratwurst seller is anything but friendly.

Thuringian Rostbrätel is something different! Not seasoned, not even pickled. At best it was a steak fried on the charcoal grill to keep it warm in the cooking pot. A clear violation of the name “Thüringer Rostbrätel”! The innkeeper has probably never eaten “Thüringer Rostbrätel” before. Underground. The bratwurst was okay - local butcher, probably. If you like mustard with bratwurst - please, but not this nonsense. It's appalling how tourists and the uninformed are being taken for a ride here and how the reputation of Thuringian cuisine is being damaged.

You were greeted very friendly. Large selection of dishes. Something for everyone. You can sit outside and inside. Highly recommended for cyclists and motorcyclists. Always happy to go there.

When we were there only the grill was in use. The restaurant is only open for a limited time. We were able to sit in the very nice beer garden. However, we were denied the toilet 🚽 🚽. What does going into the forest mean? The bratwurst with potato salad was very tasty.

Great bratwurst grilled on charcoal, restaurant currently only open on weekends Prices are ok.

Here you can find one of the tastiest Thuringian grilled sausages.

Stopped there again after a long time and was surprised that the staff was friendly and helpful as in the past

Unfortunately closed due to staff shortages... What a shame!😔 We'll stop by on the way home, then maybe it's open...

Always come here to eat a Thuringian Rostbratwurst. These are very tasty. Just really good.

It's a pleasure to eat a Thuringian bratwurst from the grill at the crossroads. On Saturday we were very disappointed 😞. The size was like a Viennese, the taste was not convincing. We hope the old Thuringian bratwurst will be on the grill again next time. We would be pleased.

A place where time has stood still. That's probably exactly the appeal. Thuringian cuisine, good and still inexpensive. Bratwurst and Bratwurst are also sold at the stand in front of the door. There is also enough parking space for hiking.

Overpriced bratwurst and brattel. I think they are taking advantage of the ignorance of the West Germans. Even if the sausage costs €10, people would immediately say yes. Go to Luisenthal at the train station as it is cheaper and cleaner. P.S Pay attention to the pictures! These are always the same, i.e. the reviews are bought.

Very nice snack bar, nice service and the Thuringian bratwurst is awesome. I always eat here with family... There is no other reason not to stop there... If you are nearby, definitely stop. 100% quality... Prices are too OK, I think it's fair. I've never had Rostbrätl before but it's all fresh...

Great bratwurst! Always worth a detour!

Simply super delicious. Straight from the grill. Nothing more needs to be said.

We stop here very often on our trip. It's one of the few stalls that are always open and offer fresh Thuringian bratwursts from the charcoal grill.

Great hosts and an honest restaurant with classics, interpreted in a modern way. We ate there twice on the weekend. Bratwurst, roulade, schnitzel, Wegscheideteller and the best fried potatoes I have eaten in a long time :-)… all super tasty and at honest prices. Thank you very much for the great time

Very nice service. Great food. Very pleasant overall impression!

It's a bit old, that's true, but still very good food, service and a rustic atmosphere. Large parking lot opposite, a few hiking trails too.

The food was great, the service was friendly and the inn had a great atmosphere. The prices are absolutely justified for the high quality of the food. If we are nearby, we will eat there again.

Very nice service and the food is more than excellent

Very tasty food, far exceeded my expectations, highly recommended!

Typical good Thuringian cuisine, roasted food from the charcoal grill, everything fresh and delicious right on the ridge of the Thuringian Forest, it couldn't be better,

Bratwurst is always a must here!

Very unfriendly bratwurst seller. My girlfriend just wanted to use the toilet, we would have left €2, but it is apparently impossible for normal people who are not guests of the house to be allowed to go to the toilet. Conclusion: Not suitable for a simple visit to the toilet.

Extremely delicious food and super nice service. We'd love to come back!

Very good food, fantastic service

Hello community,... there's nothing to complain about the bratwurst or the dishes in general, everything tastes great,... Ultimately I have to give one minus point, which concerns the gentleman's unkempt fingernails when handing out the bread rolls... Not very appetizing, a smile would also be appropriate.

Delicious rustic sausage with fresh bakery rolls.

We spontaneously decided to stop in and had a really nice time. Service and food were super good. Personal and cozy. Thank you very much 🙏

Ambiance is cozy. The stuffed rib roast is to die for. Finally a restaurant that works without glutamates and flavor enhancers. A chef who can still cook is not a given these days. Of course the dumplings weren't grated themselves, but they were pimped with brown butter :-). I'll definitely come back.

A quick Thuringian bratwurst from the charcoal grill on the way to or from Oberhof. Unfortunately the restaurant is only open on weekends. Was in the restaurant earlier. The rating applies to the snack bar.

Had a really delicious meal here today and was really pleasantly surprised. Waiter was also very friendly.

The best place is the bratwurst in front of the door. But way too expensive.

Leckeres Essen zu guten Preisen. Viel Auswahl an Fleischgerichten, aber leider nur ganz wenig vegetarische Speisen.

Ganz tolles Gasthaus, mit super Service, unser Essen war auch wirklich Klasse, wir kommen aufjedenfall wieder!

Sehr gutes und reichliches Essen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Gerne wieder.

Wir haben es auf der Durchreise mal wieder versucht und wurden erneut enttäuscht. Zunächst ruft man hier für eine Bratwurst vom Grill im Brötchen inzwischen 3,80Eur auf. Wir wollten dennoch 3, welche man zunächst an der Kasse bezahlt und dort das Brötchen bekommt. Am Grill gibt uns der Typ dann eine Wurst, dreht sich um und sagt "bin gleich wieder da"... Also fängt einer an mit essen, die beiden anderen warten erstmal noch. (hinter uns stand niemand weiteres und auch fertige Würste lagen noch auf dem Grill!). Nach dem Essen wollten wir noch auf die Toilette, welche aber geschlossen war. Auf die Frage nach dem Grund wurden wir nur schroff angefahren, dass man seit 2018 bei einem Imbiss keine Toilette mehr haben muss. Service sieht anders aus und die "Kosten" sind bei 3,80Eur für eine Wurst sicherlich auch gedeckelt. Alternativ könnte man ja auch 50ct. verlangen. Aber nein, dann pinkele ich eben in den Wald. Wir werden dort nun definitiv nie wieder anhalten.

Rostwurst gut, aber wird immer teurer von 2,50€ auf zurzeit 3,80€

Beste Bratwurst zwischen Suhl und Gotha.

Absolut professionell, Essen eine Klasse für sich

Echt toll dort und die Bratwurst und der Bratchef, einfach immer wieder ein Erlebnis....Danke

Super Service...👏..Freundlich ...leckere Küche.....👌...und schön urig ...sehr zu empfehlen....🤟
