Hello! It’s lovely to have you here!

Grown from tradition

The story of the Gasthof zur Sonne dates back to the 1950s. Back then, it was a small trattoria with a bar and kitchen – a place to eat, drink, play cards and spend time together – as well as two guest rooms with a shared bathroom. In 1974, the barn was converted into a bar and three rooms with private bathrooms were added. In 1980, the restaurant and additional guest rooms followed, and in 2010 the Gasthof was extensively renovated and refurbished. Since then, there have been continuous improvements: the rooms have been renovated, bringing the total to 26 today, and a sunbathing lawn has been added. What has remained unchanged is the warm, family-run character of the house. For several generations, the host family has run the Gasthof with great personal dedication, a genuine passion for hospitality and the desire to preserve what has stood the test of time while continuing to develop the Gasthof zur Sonne.

Hospitality is a family affair

The Winkler family runs the Gasthof zur Sonne with great personal dedication and a genuine passion for hospitality. Here, guests are known by name, there’s always time for a friendly chat and plenty of room for a little humour.

Manfred and his wife Barbara run the business together, supported by their children Madison and Jeremis as well as Manfred’s sister Silvia. Jeremis is already an integral part of the Gasthof and will one day carry on the family tradition.
