Hostel Schafert

The Schafert rises majestically above Kruth-Wildenstein Lake. The ancient farm has gradually been restyled to adjust to the needs of agriculture and the inn, without taking away any of the charm and special character of this farm inn, which offers you “marcaire” farm meals in a typical, warm atmosphere and cheeses produced on the farm to buy and take away.
