Bismarck's - Bad Ems

After our hike from the Concordia Tower along the Lahnhöhenwanderweg we returned via the Bad Ems to the Bismarcks restaurant directly on the same tower. This was built in honor of the 1st German Chancellor Prince Otto von Bismarck and inaugurated in the spring of 1901. The Kurwaldbahn, which connects the city with the large spa areas, clinics and rehabilitation facilities above Bad Ems, also ends/starts. The Bismarcks is a beautiful excursion to the mountains, high above the state bath Bad Ems, has a large sun terrace, from where you have a fantastic view of Bad Ems, the Lahntal and the surrounding mountains. On this sunny but windy autumn day we liked to sit on one of the few still free tables on the terrace and enjoyed the great view that offered us. Beautiful wooden furniture with comfortable seat cushions outside the terrace and a modern interior with alpine character was very popular. There is a wide selection of breakfasts, civic cuisine at noon and evening, in addition a changing daily menu, coffee/tea and cake as well as ice cups and a vasper card for everyone. Since we had already enjoyed a lush breakfast and had expected a 4 standard menu in the evening, we only ordered apple strudel with vanilla ice cream, which was decorated on a dark grey slate plate with fresh berries, both delicious with milk coffee. Unfortunately, we had to wait very long for our apple strudel, otherwise the service personnel looked overwhelmed after us. Too bad about the otherwise pretty destination. We then approached home with the funicular and floated exhausted from the hike, but enthusiastic about the apple strudel eat the valley.
