Waldhaus Köhlerhütte in Waltershausen

Great food, home cooking, nice staff, everything is clean and well maintained.

We were totally surprised and thrilled by the service and the good food, even gluten-free was no problem, only recommended.

Beautiful stylish restaurant, despite lots of wood, it is very modern. Accents everywhere with colorful lights in the outdoor area. A large playground invites families. Toilets great, very clean. The service staff is very nice and attentive. The food was really great, portions were quite large.

Great ambience and great food. Gladly again

Nicely presented restaurant. The service was OK and the food was tasty. What wasn't great was that the meat was raw (pork schnitzel). Unfortunately, this information was not passed on to the chef. At the end of the evening I had to pay for the meal. Of course I refused and it was accepted without hesitation. However, the apple spritzer was charged (€2.70). Overall the restaurant is not bad. Service was so ok.

Delicious food, nice service. Perfect. My recommendation!

Very nice restaurant with friendly staff and attractive furnishings. It's a bit hidden! Great view of the Inselsberg from the terrace.

Very modern and stylishly furnished restaurant. The food was very tasty (we had the Hüttenschnitzel and the Hüttenburger). Price performance for the food is definitely justified. The drinks prices are also very fair (Cola 0.5l €4.5). There are sufficient parking spaces at the house. The conditions were friendly and helpful. Would visit the restaurant again at any time.

Today we went on a wonderful Sunday trip to the Köhlerhütte in Schmerbach. This forest house is furnished with a lot of love and has a fantastic location with great views and hiking opportunities. A great selection of dishes and drinks with great service. Highly recommended and we would love to come back and be your guests.

We were able to visit this extraordinary restaurant with our friends from Ruhla on October 26th, 2024. An oasis of well-being on the edge of the Thuringian mountains. Exceptionally friendly welcome, great and highly recommended cuisine and the team welcomes you as a stranger and you leave as a friend. This is how gastronomy should be. Thank you for the lovely evening, we look forward to coming back. Greetings from Brandenburg and Ruhla.

It's nice that such an "excursion restaurant" is still in operation. We found the stay very pleasant, the contemporary atmosphere, the food and the service great. We'd love to come back!

In simple words: Great! Great ambience, nice and courteous staff and super delicious food. I can only recommend it to everyone

The food is a disaster. Small portions for a big price. The drinks are okay. But I absolutely cannot recommend it!

Great restaurant, friendly staff and super delicious food 🙂

We always enjoy coming to visit and are thrilled every time. The food is really tasty and the service is excellent.

The food and location were top. Only the service behind the counter was slightly overwhelmed and “annoyed by the guests” - we had the impression.

Very cool location. Remote, quiet, great ambience indoors and outdoors in the forest/mountain. Great concept, friendly service, price-performance ratio fits very well! We would definitely come back!

The four of us spontaneously stopped in for a quick dinner. The food and the prices were without complaint. The sanitary facilities are super clean, the staff are friendly and professional and the whole place is new, modern and really chic. I would recommend the restaurant without hesitation and would come back at any time if I was in the area again. Thanks to the Köhlerhütte team

Unfortunately disappointed with the quality of the food. Beef roulade very tough, frozen chicken breast. And poorly seasoned. However, the atmosphere is very nice.

We celebrated our son's baptism in the Köhler Hütte and were very satisfied. From planning to implementation, everything corresponded to our wishes and ideas. The staff was very nice and friendly, especially attentive. We never lacked anything. There was nothing wrong with the food, everyone enjoyed it and it was very nicely prepared. Our guests had nothing but praise for the celebration. And we can recommend the Köhler Hütte with a very clear conscience.

Great food, great service, we'll be happy to come back when we're in the area again

Delicious food and friendly staff, what more could you want. Highly recommended. The access to the parking lot from the town is very narrow.

We went to the charcoal burner's hut for dinner today, me for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised, very modern and invitingly furnished. The staff wasn't intrusive, but still always present and very friendly. The food was very good, both to the eye and to the taste. In short, we would love to come back and a big thank you to the team.

Unfortunately there has been a lot of decline... The food is average at best and the prices are too high! Lousy, tough and very small roast meat with soggy fried potatoes €18!? The "so-called boss" was very unkempt and had little hospitality, everything was great 2 years ago - it's a shame about the beautiful location 😕

Foreword, the Waldhaus Köhlerhütte represents a long-standing tradition in this region; it was also very well attended in GDR times. Due to new construction and changes of ownership, there have certainly been ups and downs for every restaurateur over the years. Since this year, I have been extremely surprised at how this ambience has developed into a dream come true. I browsed the menu 4 times. I couldn't complain to any court! Recommendation for the kitchen! The waitresses are also very quick! All I can say is keep it up!!!!

Always recommended for an anniversary too. Delicious food and a beautiful view of the Inselsberg

Great location, large playground for children (from 3-4 years), beautiful view and a very quiet location. However, 1 star deduction, even if the food is very tasty, the quantity ratio to the price is exaggerated. 1 dumpling with meat and sauce? Dessert is recommended but excessively expensive for the “material used”.

The interior is very nice, the staff is very nice, but the food is average.

A great place to eat outside during good weather. Even a playground for the wee ones. Delicious good and beautifully scenery. Highly recommended!

Located in a wonderfully quiet location in the forest with a southeast orientation, I felt in good hands here, comfortably served with good service and delicious Thuringian cuisine. The red cabbage was a bit salty, but the dumplings were really good. Despite the modern architecture, it is very comfortably furnished. I will gladly come again. I found the prices for the food to be 1-2 euros too high.

Well, there’s a lot of room for improvement…

Great service, great food, great ambience. You feel good. thanks for that

We had roulade and game goulash. With the game goulash, the sauce was nice and dark, but the taste was just too bitter. Also for game goulash. The roulade sauce, on the other hand, was bitter and the red cabbage coarse and overly acidic. We also received the food very quickly, which indicates that it wasn't entirely fresh.

A bit overwhelmed kitchen and service too You should also do the math come first Pay €55 100.- note given and 35.- were returned even after recalculating twice not understood that it has to be 45.- then pointed out and then the penny dropped Well, the youth.

Great architecture, shady seating and decent food. It's worth a visit

I'm a bit conflicted...the food (and also the price) in a great environment were great...without any compromises...but after more than 20 minutes in an outdoor area that was still very clearly visited (because very early Evening) I don't even have a card and the staff tells guests who need 6 seats as they leave that they can move the table and get more chairs, then I really have question marks over my head. I couldn't help but think of how, as a student, I was repeatedly chastised by the head waitress of a restaurant that was not even remotely comparable in standard because I served a cup of coffee without a tray... so please let it be an exception! Because otherwise you are great!

Overall, we were satisfied with our visit here. The food was tasty, but the price was a bit high. We were also a little surprised by the menu, as we had previously read a more extensive menu on the website. There were no classic dishes such as a simple schnitzel on the menu. We were there during the week.

Always worth a trip. Very nice staff and super good food. Very well attended, it's worth pre-ordering.

Very tasty and great service, good price-performance ratio. We would love to come back 👌🏼

It's a really great restaurant with a great team. Thank you for the beautiful day!

It's very nice here, the service was very nice and the food was good 😃👍

I'm simply at a loss for words, such a beautiful location, the food was absolutely amazing and the service staff were super nice, humorous and simply great!

Adventurous journey, but good restaurant. Friendly service, good tasty food. For the area and for what is on offer, I found the prices slightly excessive.

Food was ok for the price, steak seasoned meat consisted of a neck steak that was probably marinated in beer, which in terms of taste didn't at all match the rather dry, very coarse seasoned meat with which it was gratinated. Solyanka starter soup has a very thick consistency, actually has nothing to do with soup, but the taste is OK and well prepared. Wild goulash also tastes good with red cabbage between braised cabbage and raw vegetables. A rump steak was ordered medium, but was well over. Portions sufficient. The wait staff should definitely work on how they interact with each other, especially in front of the guests. With this tone, you don't have to be surprised if the trainees lose interest in the job. Every now and then the innkeeper tries to cover up his obviously grumpy nature with a contrived saying. No comparison with the quality of the previous operator, which is a shame given the wonderful location and ambience.

In a calm neighborhood. Parking spaces in the immediate vicinity. The restaurant has a bit of a ski hut feeling. The service was top and on point. The food is typically regional and seasonal. Just like we were looking for. Sufficiently large portions and of good quality. The trout was cooked to perfection. And goes well with the savoy cabbage and parsnip mash. In my opinion, the paste, which tastes strongly of soy sauce, could have been avoided. Didn't really go well with the fish and gave the whole thing an Asian touch.

NRW greets Thuringia Friendly staff, great ambience, good cuisine. We'll be happy to come back when we check in at the Guesthouse Regina in Ruhla.😋

Super great restaurant with great staff, a must if you are in the area

Nice ambience, great view, friendly service, plenty of space for children too

A very nice excursion restaurant in the forest with delicious food, nice terrace and playground

Top restaurant. Delicious! Great service. Very friendly and attentive staff! The boss in particular caught the eye with his pleasant and friendly manner!

It was just a lovely experience to eat here with the family! The dishes are delicious and the service is attentive and all at a fair price! Thanks

After a phone call we were able to get there spontaneously. We would receive a super friendly welcome. After a quick look at the menu, we made our choice. Actually, everything should be highlighted, from the service to the food. I'll make it short: great service, taste explosion. We'd love to come back.

Discovered by chance. Very tasty dishes.

Very nice, cozy atmosphere. The food was well prepared and simply delicious.

The atmosphere in the Waldhaus is always very appealing. I like it very much. Our waiter was very friendly. The food was also good. Can be recommended without hesitation. Thank you.

Went to their restaurant for the first time. Ordered for Christmas Day. Everyone was very happy with the menu. Gladly again. Thanks.

Our group ordered a variety of meals which were presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Everyone was very satisfied with the generous portions. The service was superb, and the restaurant was cozy and comfortably warm on this cold winter's evening. A peep into the kitchen reflected the cleanliness of the entire facility. Another wonderful evening discovering Eisenach and surrounds. Very happy holidaymakers! Thank you Marko and team for making our 2nd last evening of 2023 a great one!

This was our third time eating there and it was great every time! The ambience is great! And the staff very friendly. We always feel very welcome and are happy to come back again and again!

I got to know this location through our Christmas party. Great ambience and delicious food. This was definitely not the last visit. Update: It really didn't take long for me to visit again. Visited again yesterday with family. A location that is also open on Monday evenings, which is no longer that easy to find. The food was delicious, the service was very friendly and I also found a place for my dog.

Sehr sehr gutes Essen mit schönem Ambiente und toller Ausblick. Schöner Spielplatz für die Kleinen. Sehr liebevoll angerichtetes Essen.

Immer wieder einen Besuch wert. Essen geschmacklich gut abgestimmt, appetitlich angerichtet. Man bekommt am besten auf Vorbestellung einen Platz, das Personal ist sehr eifrig.

Ein modern eingerichtetes Haus mit einer hervorragenden Küche! Man muss unbedingt reservieren....es hat sich schon rumgesprochen, wie gut es da ist.

Einfach eins unserer Lieblingsrestaurants

Essen super nur Wartezeit 1,5 std war eindeutig zu lange.

Eine sehr spontane Reservierung wurde sehr freundlich möglich gemacht! Vielen Dank nochmal!

Wir waren am Dienstag anlässlich meines Geburtstages mit 6 Personen zum Abendessen auf der Köhlerhütte.Wir wurden sofort bedient,auf der Speisekarte eine riesige Auswahl. Jeder hatte etwas gefunden und bestellt, dann kamen alle Essen alle gleichzeitig, wie es sein sollte.Also alle waren mit Menge und dem leckeren Geschmack sehr zufrieden. Ein großes Lob an die Truppe von der Köhlerhütte. Wir kommen wieder und wir empfehlen sie weiter.

Schönes, modern eingerichtetes Restaurant mit guter Aussicht. Es können hier zusätzlich auch Tagungsräume angemietet werden. Das Essen wird fein angerichtet und es gibt eine gute Auswahl an lokalen und typischen Gerichten. Für meinen Geschmack hätte es noch ein etwas größeres vegetarisches Angebot geben können. Einziger Kritikpunkt war die Musikauswahl und deren Lautstärke im Restaurant die nicht ganz angemessen war.

Tolle Aussicht, freundliche Bedienung und auch für die Kinder leckere Dinge auf der Karte (plus Spielplatz draußen). Essen lecker und angemessen im Preis. Gern wieder.

Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Das Essen ist lecker. Das Gasthaus ist wunderbar gestaltet und hat auch einen schönen Spielplatz für die Kids. Immer wieder gerne!

Wir kamen vom Meisenstein hier vorbei und waren angenehm überrascht. Natürlich war es hier voll und das Personal stand unter Dauerstress, trotz alledem lief die Bestellung von Getränken und Speisen rund. Also keine lange Wartezeiten. Das Ambiente dieser urigen Ausflugsgaststätte ist unschlagbar. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis geht in Ordnung. Der Spielplatz vor der Tür ist für die Knirpse ein Traum, mit Kletterturm und Rutsche. Also herkommen, wohlfühlen...

Sehr freundlicher Service. Das Essen top.

Sehr schön im Wald gelegenes Lokal mit urig-moderner Atmosphäre. Vom Essen bis zum Service top. Portionen sind mehr als in Ordnung 😉 Hunger ist zwingend erforderlich. Alles sauber und sehr gepflegt. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Wer gutes Essen im gepflegten Ambiente mag muß hier einkehren.

Ganz klare Empfehlung! Das Essen war spitze, das Ambiente ist modern und gehoben, gleichzeitig aber gutbürgerlich. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen!

Nettes Lokal, freundliche Bedienung, gutes Essen.

Wir waren heute zum ersten Mal dort. Wir waren angenehm überrascht vom sehr modernen und toll gebauten Restaurant in dieser schönen Lage. Auch das Essen und das bayrische Bier hat gut geschmeckt. Schließlich war ja auch gerade Oktoberfest.👍🍺 Allerdings mussten wir auch feststellen, dass zwar alles schön vorbereitet war, aber ein Oktoberfest-Ambiente sich nicht einstellen wollte. Zum Oktoberfest gehört auch etwas Musik, die zur Gemütlichkeit einlädt. Auch wenn sie nur vom Band kommt. Das hat leider gefehlt!👎 Die Musik eines Alleinunterhalters im Innern des Restaurants hat man im Außenbereich nicht gehört und außerdem war sie für ein Oktoberfest auch viel zu "brav"! Auf das Essen mussten wir lange warten. In Anbetracht des "Fachkräftemangels" in Deutschland war das schade und vielleicht zu erwarten, aber evtl. kann man beim nächsten Event vieles anders und sogar besser machen!? Wir kommen sicher wieder, weil einfach die Lokation schon toll ist. ... und hoffen dabei darauf, dass man Stimmung und Organisation im Restaurant auch lernen kann. 😉

Unser erster Besuch und super Eindruck hinterlassen! Tolles Ambiente, sehr nette Bedienung, Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut! Die Portionen sind reichlich aber nicht zu viel. Die Karte sehr übersichtlich und aufgeräumt was ich persönlich sehr schätze. Regionale Küche und ansprechend auf dem Teller angerichtet. Für Kinder ein richtig schöne Abenteuerumgebung incl Spielplatz. Immer wieder gerne und sehr empfehlenswert!

Mit dem vorherigen Koch war das Essen besser und der Service viel besser.

Kann Ich nur weiterempfehlen. Super Personal und leckeres Essen.

Ein Restaurant mit Spielplatz! Eher für größere Kinder, aber dasAmbiente war sehr schön. Das essen war eher fertig und nicht selbstgdmacht, den Kellner sah man selten...

Alles top, freundliche Mitarbeiter, gutes Essen, normale Preise

Klöße mit Wildgulasch geschmacklich sehr gut, aber 4 Stück Fleisch und wenig Soße nicht o.k. (Erwachsenenportion)

Sehr zu empfehlen. SUPER Essen. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Leider kann ich beim Essen nur 3 Sterne geben weil das Essen sehr unterschiedlich ist einmal ist es sehr gut ein anderes mal ist es leider sehr schlecht. Das Restaurant ist wunderschön gelegen und auch mit Kind und Hund sehr zu empfehlen.

Necesita una renovación. No toallas viejas delgadas, gel de baño, champú, secador no no. Desayuno de baja calidad, ensalada de fruta en lata, no hay otras frutas. No té. Habitaciones espaciosas, pero horrible y almohadas ropa barata. Comida a la noche comestible, pero normal.

Es war nicht mein erster Besuch im Waldhaus. So wußte ich natürlich, dass dort gutes Essen zu erwarten ist. Dieser Abend ist mir jedoch in besonderer Erinnerung geblieben, weil wir ausreichend Muße hatten, uns im entzückend liebevoll eingerichteten Gastraum wohlzufühlen. Dazu dann das Essen! Abgerundet im Geschmack der fantasievollen Zutaten, liebevoll angerichtet und einfach nur lecker! Die Betreiber sind auch absolut empfehlenswert, nett und können excellent kochen, eine perfekte Kombination, wie ich finde. Die Preise sind dann auch dementsprechend etwas gehobener aber ganz und gar nicht zu teuer für das, was man dafür geboten bekommt, und schon gar nicht, wenn man seine Mutti mal zum Essen einladen darf! Also kurz, ein Besuch im Waldhaus ist schon mal eine Reise nach Waltershausen wert.

Frische leckere Gerichte.... toller Kräutergarten..super Ausblick, wir waren nicht zum letzen Mal hier..

Durch Zufall fanden wir dieses Restaurant und waren überrascht über diese äußerst gute Qualität, sowohl der Geschmack als auch die Präsentation ließen absolut nichts zu wünschen übrig. Die Auswahl von Kräutern und Blüten aus dem eigenen Garten, quasi direkt neben dem Gast frisch gepflückt machte etwas Besonderes aus jedem der drei Gerichte, die wir in Familie heute Abend zu uns nahmen. Absolut empfehlenswert, wir gehen auf jeden Fall wieder hin!!

Wir sind zufällig auf einem Spaziergang durch Waltershausen hier vorbeigekommen und spontan für ein Mittagessen eingekehrt. Die Speisekarte bietet eine gutbürgerliche Auswahl und die Speisen werden auch optisch sehr ansprechend serviert. Alles rundum gelungen.
