Gaststätte Hohenseelbachskopf in Neunkirchen

The food was amazing, the service was super friendly, it couldn't have been better, and everything was perfect. I'd gladly come back again.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent.

A top spot after a hike or mountain bike tour! The food is incredibly delicious and the service team is top-notch! 👍

…a fantastic family outing on December 6th – with a visit from St. Nicholas for the kids. Superb, delicious food, wonderfully prepared, and explanations from the chef – we'll definitely be back – even in good weather 🤪 – Köppel = highly recommended ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We had a wonderful evening at Köppel! The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. The food was simply delicious – every dish was a delight. I would especially like to commend the friendly and efficient service, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

Excellent rustic cuisine prepared by a superb chef. This is not the kind of food you'd expect in a forest inn. The ambiance is like a mountain cabin, complete with a wood-burning stove (in winter) and appropriate music. The menu changes regularly, so there's something for everyone. They also host events from time to time.

Delicious food! Highly recommended 👍

Delicious food, where else can you get boiled beef or roulade? Friendly, hardworking waitresses and a chef who enjoys his job.

Yes, absolutely! A fantastic restaurant in the middle of the woods, a rustic atmosphere, super friendly staff, and they offer delicious little treats from the kitchen. I'm a regular 👍 and if your dog is well-behaved, it's very welcome. Mine always gets his water before I get my beer. Köppel has now expanded his menu with schnitzel specialties, hamburgers, etc. Fantastic! 👍☺️

Update August 25, 2025 Well, what can I say – you've really stepped up your game! Firmly in the saddle, with great events and one of the best regional chefs you could wish for. Everything we ate was fantastic. The ambiance was still so cozy. And now I'm looking forward to the fall and winter again, when your forest has a very special charm. I wish you all the best and much success from the bottom of my heart. So, from me – for you, your effort, your ingenuity, and of course for Betz's kitchen – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old review... Nice, rustic, and cozy location in the middle of the forest. Five stars for that. The new owners have really put a lot of effort into renovating the hut. The menu selection could use some rethinking. A motto in the restaurant industry was, is, and remains - fries ALWAYS work. That doesn't really stick. The currywurst seems to be a convenience product from the microwave, at least it tastes identical to one. The meat sausage is excellent, the bread delicious. The soup is also tasty, and the potato salad is okay. I don't know if it's homemade, but it tastes good. We went there for the schnitzel buffet, and it was really, really delicious. Everything was top-notch. The sauces, the side dishes, the schnitzel, everything was top-notch and always plentiful. For that, it gets six out of five stars. A very nice little beer garden with sturdy furniture invites you to take a break. In winter, it's ultra-cozy there; the oven is on, and the cozy atmosphere tempts you to stay longer. A tip, because I often walk around and hear a lot: please adapt the menu to customer requests. Especially since these are easily achievable requests. An affordable glass of wine for the ladies, a standard schnapps (Jägermeister, Ferner) for after dinner, fries not just on weekends, and a decent sausage... That's it!!!! In any case, we're grateful that, in this day and age, with such disastrous policies, someone still dares to run a restaurant, one that also requires a fair amount of technical expertise and presents challenges. I wish you all the best and much success.

It was a great evening! The portions were excellent. Fair prices and a great atmosphere. We love the Siegerland region, and the Köppel is a testament to that. Thank you for a great evening.

The schnitzel was absolutely delicious, but the fries had to be shared. The food is highly recommended, despite the small menu.

Delicious food and very friendly service! We'll be back👍

Great location, great food, great team. Highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Super-delicious schnitzels in a rustic atmosphere. And the friendly service leaves nothing to be desired. Pure welcoming culture. We'll be back.

We felt very comfortable with you! The food was delicious and the service was simply superb! We'll definitely be back!

I recently visited Köppel and was pleasantly surprised again! The schnitzels are new to the menu and were exceptionally delicious and freshly prepared – exactly as you'd expect. The prices are also absolutely fair and reflect the quality of the food. The cozy atmosphere completes the experience. You feel comfortable and welcome. A great place to stop after a hike! Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, top food and super friendly service 👍🏻

Far from the stress and hustle and bustle, surrounded by nature, high up on the mountain. A delight in every season and affordable. The host is priceless.

A very nice day-trip restaurant right on the bike path. Delicious cold beer 🍺 and good currywurst. Beautiful beer garden, great service. Very friendly staff. We'd be happy to go again.

Good selection of drinks. Nice restaurant for day trips.

A great spot in the forest. Perfect for a break. Fair prices, card payments accepted.

Delicious food and drinks, friendly service

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. What more could you want?

Yes, I can highly recommend it.

Perfect as a destination/stopover for an e-bike tour!

Yes, it's okay. We were out on our motorcycles and were looking forward to a schnitzel, which Google said was supposed to be available there. Unfortunately, it wasn't available. The cheese spaetzle, which they advertised as the best, were partly cold, and a few braised onions and bacon wouldn't have hurt them either. At least the service is on point. Conclusion: OK for a drink, but I wouldn't eat there again.

A lovely destination for hikers and mountain bikers. We stopped here for a break and enjoyed some food and drinks. The food, however, could have been better. The meatball was unfortunately quite hard and overcooked. The fries, on the other hand, were unfortunately undercooked and rather wobbly. Service was okay.

A very nice place to go for a day trip, where you can also be alone. The food is delicious, and the service is very friendly. We'd definitely go back. Thanks for thinking about the dogs.

After a hike, I returned after a long absence. I have to say... hats off. They really made a splash. The food from Struthof in Betzdorf (spätzle by the glass) was delicious. The wheat beer, too 😉 And a nice and pleasant atmosphere and service. Some of the outside is self-service, depending on what's going on. Totally fine. This won't be the last time we're here. It's worth stopping by again. 👍☀️

Super nice forest restaurant. Top-notch staff.

Just had something to drink. The service was nice, friendly and, given the hustle and bustle, relaxed! All I can say about the food is that it looked very tasty and there were only happy faces from the many people who were eating

Very nicely done, unfortunately the food on offer is not as before. It would be nice if there were schnitzel again at some point. Unfortunately, fries are only available on weekends, for whatever reason?

All good, simple, very tasty food and drinks. The Krombacher from the bottle is great. Although I prefer Archspring. You should drink what is offered. Our beers here in the region are all good.

Small, clear map but top quality 👍 Have been here often on foot or by bike and would love to come back...

We think the prices for the bottled beer are way too expensive...

Wonderful location in the forest. Top address for hiking or cycling. Unfortunately, there is now Krombacher here, which of course tastes extremely crappy in contrast to Erzquell. The rest is great.

It's great what you did with the Köppel: bright and friendly. We were there today on March 30th, 2024 and are already looking forward to another visit. You are so nice and friendly that it's fun to stop by. And both pea and goulash soup with delicious bread are a dream.

Inviting, fun, really great to spend a few hours there and meet different people you know :)

We were there again today for the first time since the reopening. Everything was fine. The menu is greatly reduced. Currywurst, hot meat sausage, soups. But very tasty. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant. Reservation strongly recommended!

Really cool for a break on a bike ride or hike.

Very tasty, with the dog who got water straight away, the food was extremely tasty and the dessert is highly recommended - I'll be coming here more often soon. €35 in total wasn't expensive either.

The food was very tasty if you are a lover of German cuisine! If you want to drink beer, you can look forward to 0.5l bottled beer!

Friendly staff, next time we will test the kitchen. (05.06.2021) Stopped there again today after a bike ride and tested the kitchen. The food was delicious and the drinks were at a good temperature. (07/24/2021) Stopped in again today after a 47 km tour on 1-2 Weizen, very nice operators! Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate, I was there alone🤦(08/27/2021) After a 40 km tour, some wheat before lunch on the Köppel! As always, everything was great, not all alone today! 😂 (09/05/2021) Yesterday I stopped there again after a tour and without having ordered anything I received a freshly poured wheat beer! 👍 (09/23/2021) Stopped there again today for the second time this year and had lunch, simply delicious! 🤤 Stopped there again today after a 52 km tour and the boars were just awesome! 👍🍻(05/28/2022) Simply a dream when you sit down at the table and Alex brings you a cold Keiler without you having to order it!👍(06/25/2023) I think it's a shame that we don't see each other on the Köppel anymore, but then I just have to do my tours over the Otto Tower.🤷

Delicious beer, delicious schnapps

Very nice little restaurant in the middle of the forest. Ideal as a short break when traveling by bike.

Hier kehrt man immer wieder gerne bei einer Rad,-oder Wandertour ein. Freundliches Personal und gute Küche.

Nettes ausflugslokal,annehmbare Preise und standardgerichte

Fleißige schnelle Bedienung und fleischlastiges Speisenangebot

Sehr schönes Ausflugslokal kann ich nur empfehlen, komme gerne wieder🏍️👍

Sehr schönes Lokal gehen sehr gerne hin 😊

Immer top!! Sehr nette Menschen….

Sehr schöke gaststette in einer sehr schönen umgebung. Perfekt um nach oder vor dem wander etwas zu essen/Trinken.

Super zum spazieren gehen. Gemütliche kleine Gaststätte

Tolle Location, könnte man echt was schönes aufbauen.

Waren mit den E-Bikes da. Tolle Lage. Leider nicht sehr gepflegt, die Terrasse könnte mal gefegt werden, am Gebäude selbst überall Spinnenweben, der Stromgenerator ist sehr laut. Essen war lecker, nur hat es viel zu lange gedauert, bis Schnitzel und Currywurst endlich parat waren. Die Bedienung war freundlich. Alles in Allem ganz i.O.

Geburtstagsfeier mitgemacht. Tolles Essen, besonders die Schnitzel. Bier 🍺 eiskalt, sogar Krombacher. Die Fürsten kommen wieder...

Einfach schön zum einkehren. Preise sind fair.

Super Pit Stop für Wanderer und Radfahrer. Sehr netter Wirt! Schöne Plätze im Schatten, bei Sonne, 30 Grad wertvolle Pause. Muss man machen!

Schöner Ausgangspunkt und Zielort für Wanderer und Montainbiker

Wunderbar am Siegerland Höhenring gelegen. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Wir haben nur etwas getrunken, aber das Essen an den Nachbartischen sah sehr gut aus.

Bestes Schnitzel im Wald. Bedienung hat sich klar verbessert. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Eine wunderschöne alte Gaststätte mitten im Wald. Hier hat man mal Zeit um den Alltag ruhen zu lassen und gleichzeitig wird man von dem sehr netten Personal bedient. Die Preise sind vollstens in Ordnung (meiner Meinung nach in der heutigen Zeit zu günstig) Man bekommt frische sehr leckere und große Schnitzel, frischen Salat, Pommes usw. Es ist aufjedenfall einen Ausflug wert. Kurz und Schmerzlos Ich bzw wir sind absolut begeistert und kommen sehr gerne wieder

Ein sehr schöne um eine Rast einzulegen, egal ob zu Fuss oder mit dem Rad unterwegs. Sehr nette Pächter und das Essen ist frisch und sehr lecker. Mein Tipp Westerwälder Krüstchen, ok ich komme von dort leicht beeinflusst....

Ich wurde zum Vatertag von meiner Frau zum essen eingeladen. Gaststätte Hohenselbachskopf ( Köppel ) war unser Ziel. Das Lokal war gut besucht. Ich kannte es aus früheren Zeiten. Das Ambiente Urgemütlich aber altbacken. Das Essen war gut, der Preis mit 13,50 Euro für ein Jägerschnitzel mit Pommes eher im unteren Bereich. Das Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Zusammengefasst ein schönes Ausflugsziel welches wir mal wieder besuchen werden.

Schöne und gemütliche Waldgaststätte. Zu Fuß, mit dem Fahrrad und auch mit dem Auto erreichbar. Besonders im Winter zu empfehlen.

Sehr schöner Anlaufpunkt. Sehr freundliches Personal. Kann man nur empfehlen 👍

Es Schmeckt richtig gut, allerdings muss man sehr viel Zeit mitbringen, wenn dort 10 Leute sitzen und man dann mit 4 Personen bestellt kann das gut und gerne 2 Stunden dauern!

War jetzt innerhalb von paar Monaten 3x mit dem MTB dort. Freundliche Mitarbeiter, Betreiber, inkl. seines Vaters, trotz meist vollem Biergarten, immer für einen netten Smalltalk zu haben. Preis-/Leistung bei Essen und Trinken denke ich normal. Essen war gut und reichlich(8 Kroketten beim Haubergschnitzel, wo bekommt man das noch?), was mir persönlich immer sehr wichtig ist😉...komme bestimmt schon bald wieder🙋🏻‍♂️🍻

Sehr schöne Wanderwege und interessante Gegend mit Lavafelsen. Restaurant ist am WE geöffnet. Achtung genau aufpassen Kellner meint man würde nicht alles bezahlen.

Eine wirklich schöne Gastronomie. Sehr große Portionen zum fairen Preis.😃

Top, gutes Essen, gutes Bier, freundliche Bedienung

Schönes Ausflugslokal in herrlicher Landschaft

Hier gibt es frische, selbstgemachte und vor allem sehr leckere Schnitzel zu einem günstigen Preis. Das Personal ist freundlich und sehr nett. Klare Empfehlung!

Alles super echt zu empfehlen!!! Sehr freundliche Inhaber nettes Personal und leckeres Essen, wir waren rundum zufrieden.

Sehr nett zum einkehren, alle freundlich, Essen top, Getränke eiskalt. Gerne wieder.
