"Already at one of my previous stays in Klingenthal, I had stood in front of closed doors at the Döhlerwald on Wednesdays, so I used Tuesday to return there. The outside door only led into a hallway with an info box with brochures to take away. To the right, there goes a door called “Gaststube”. When I arrived, some of the guests present welcomed me, the barn standing behind the vault and pinned beer remained silent and did not pay any attention. Three tables near the entrance door were occupied, so I looked for a table more in the background and took place. It then took two rounds with serving drinks at the other tables until the host came to me, greeted me with a tight “good evening!” and handed me the menu. The offer includes carving dishes, steaks, local cuisine, wild dishes, fish and vegetarian offers, each on one side, at prices between about 8, and 12, €. While I was still studying the map, the host came back to my table and asked, “Do you want to drink something?” I ordered a non-alcoholic yeast beer (0.5l for €2.20 and she disappeared to inject the beer. In the meantime, I had made my choice, and when she brought the beer a little later, I ordered “Leberknödelsuppe “Döhlerwald” (3,10 € and “Försterhaus Schnitzel, two sliced chips of cream mushrooms and bacon strips on roast potatoes” (11,60 €). The ceiling of the guest room is designed with artistically diagonal profile boards laid in alternating directions with intermediate beams of pine, whereby the wood is gold-coloured. On the floor are octagonal large tiles with small square inserts, both in a broken red tone. The furniture is consistently in “light oak”, with benches along the walls and chairs towards the room, both with dark patterned seat cushions. The tables were covered with white fabric tablecloths, gold-colored middle blankets. On each table stood a tulip in a glass vase, also salt and pepper shaker and a tealight in the glass. An old iron sewing machine table stood in the middle of the room as a flower stool. After some time, the host came back and brought a plate with a beer jug, in it cutlery and napkin. With the other hand, she served the soup. They looked very good, the two dumplings almost filled the soup saucer, the whole thing was marveled with fresh parsley. The first puncture with the spoon clearly showed: It wasn't industrial goods. Nicely loose and tasteful, as well as the broth, the soup was really very good, only the bit of TK vegetables on the ground would be better left out. When the emptied soup saucer was cleared, the host asked: “Was it good?” which I would like to confirm to her. In total, she was truly baptized with increasing duration of my stay and finally became really friendly. After a small break – I had heard the knocking of the Schnitzel before and could now observe the young cook at the preparation through the open kitchen door – the main dish was served. Two medium-sized chips lay like a roof over the roast potatoes, on top of the bacon strips, on both sides a Klacks cream mushroom and finally in the middle the salad set. The scavengers were of very good quality, tender and juicy, apart from a small grease cub. Bratkartoffeln, otherwise often a stone of an assault, came here very well with bacon and onions, and on practically every piece was a, albeit small, roasting place. The cream mushrooms were prepared with fresh mushrooms, overall the composition was harmonious and rustic. Conclusion: If you can look beyond the initially a little beardy hostess, a highly recommended restaurant with delicious food at moderate prices. Maybe she just had a bad day, and I'd go back there."

"We've discovered the old drugstore while passing and we've decided to go to dinner there. Some acquaintances told how satisfied they were there they were curious. The parking lot on the opposite side of the street offers space for 5 cars. The menu is clearly kept, but everyone will find something here. We chose Schnitzel Bruschetta and Gans and, as so often, shared both foods to taste everything. Both dishes have convinced us completely. The cook really has something on it. The prices are not just cheap, but appropriate for the quality of food and the type of presentation. We like to come back."

"At noon I was back in Klingenthal and was looking for the small Asian restaurant, which I remembered from my last visit two years ago. The name remained, the painted columns and the bronze lions on both sides of the entrance clearly emphasize the kitchen direction offered here. When I entered, I saw that the tables were all occupied next to the vault on the right side, at the vault there were still two people who wanted to pick up food. So I turned to the left and looked for a table in the empty guest room there. Operation No staff could be seen when entering, but after a few minutes the service, an Asian middle age, came to my table, greeted me and served me the menu. While I looked at the offer, she supplied the food pickups, who had sometimes sat at the tables and now gradually left the place. She was friendly and attentive throughout my stay at the restaurant, as the only service she had not particularly full place well under control. Food The offer includes the usual dishes of German-speaking Chinese cuisine, with a total of more than 20 very inexpensive lunch menus, each of which includes a Beijing soup or a spring roll. Furthermore, some soups are on offer, of which I had not heard anything yet, most of them just for 2,00 €. Finally I ordered the Menu M 13, “Crispy chicken meat to Hong Kong type with sharp sauce” (5,00 € with a spring roll. In addition, a “San Sin soup with shrimp, ham, chicken meat and vegetables” (2,00 €) and a mineral water (0,2l for 1,60 €. As often as with the Asian soups, the broth was taste-poor, so the inlays were well appreciated with their own taste. Even before I had eaten the soup, the spring roll was served, which was obviously self-made. The filling proved to be a good mixture of bean sprouts, cabbage strips and minced meat and was quite tasty. After all, I got the main court. A panned chicken breast, cut into strips, lay on a heap of vegetables. In separate bowls came the rice and the so-called sharp sauce, which, although clearly tasted for garlic, was anything but sharp. Otherwise, the food was quite tasty and also qualitatively fine, the portion would have been good even without the extra soup. Ambience The furniture is made of dark wood with red seat cushions, the walls are soft green. Sets of plastic with Asian motifs were placed on the tables in front of each place, with a memento with salt, pepper, soy sauce, vinegar and Sambal Oelek and one or two food warmers. The floor is covered with parquet in cube shape, on the walls some large-format images hang in partly very massive wooden frames with golden ornaments. Some Chinese lampions and carved lamps hang on the ceiling and spread sufficient brightness. Cleanliness The restaurant was clean and well maintained, even with glasses, plates and cutlery there was no reason to complain. The toilet in the back of the building is not quite easy to find, but has been modernized since my last visit and was perfectly clean."

"Like a few times before, I had relocated to this hotel. In the evening I had no desire to go big and decided to eat at the hotel's restaurant, which I had a good memory of delicious local cuisine from previous visits. When entering the little occupied place, I was greeted relatively friendly by an employee behind the counter, but there was no table assignment. So I sought a free table between numerous “reserved” signs and took place. After a walk with drinks to another table, the young man came to me and gave me the menu. On his question about my drink request, I asked for a dark beer, but he told me that this is not currently in the touch and he could only offer me a black beer from the bottle. During my entire presence in the restaurant, his appearance, as with previous visits in this house, was always friendly and accommodating. He also had a good look at the now well-stocked restaurant, and there were no significant waiting times. Food The offer of the house includes petty-bourgeois cuisine as well as original vogtland dishes, which are mostly only offered at lunchtime (other than previous visits. Unfortunately, the map is not on the restaurant's homepage. The two dishes of the Vogtland cuisine on the evening pass did not irritate me, I decided to bake for “big medallions with cheese, with fries and salad set” (12,40 €). So it became a kernel black beer from the bottle (0,5l for 3,00 € . The beer was served shortly afterwards, a little later the waiter brought cutlery and napkin. After a waiting period appropriate to the well-stocked restaurant, the waiter brought the plate with my food. Three beautiful pork medallions were well gratined with cheese, along with one serving of fries and also a supplement salad. It consisted of a few fresh ingredients, but mostly inlaid. The fries were fresh, hot and crispy, the meat tender and tasty. The size of the portion was completely sufficient for my appetite. So far everything was in order, regrettably just that the Western (Wild courts with the typical clubs were not available in the evening. Ambience The decor is rustic, but the wooden tone is mostly bright oak. In part, the walls were covered high in this type of wood. The chairs had seat and back cushions, which were covered with bright, patterned fabric. On the tables there was only one middle blanket in Karmesinrot, on which there was a small porcelain vase with a flower, along with salt and pepper mills. Cleanliness The guest room was well maintained and clean, even with glasses, plates and cutlery there was no reason to complain. I didn't visit the toilet."
