Most of the original features, including 16th-century beams and brickwork, are preserved at this historic house in the center of Calw. Rooms are small but half-timber like the exterior. The restaurant (¢-$) serves a selection of sturdy German and Greek dishes. A salad buffet will take care of smaller appetites, and lunchtime always has several good-value dishes of the day. There's also an asparagus (Spargel) menu in season. Pros: great location on historic square, beautiful old building. Cons: parking around the corner, some rooms quite small, historic building means no elevator.
