Brauhaus Knallhütte

Brauhaus Knallhütte Review

This brewery-cum-inn, established in 1752, was the home of village storyteller Dorothea Viehmann. The Grimms got the best of their stories from her, including "Little Red Riding Hood," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Rumpelstiltskin." To this day "Dorothea" tells her stories here (unfortunately only in German) every Saturday at 5:30. The Knallhütte was once a wayside inn on the road to Frankfurt. That road is now the autobahn, making the tavern a superhighway rest stop. You'll find it on autobahn A-49 between the Baunatal Nord and Baunatal Mitte exits. You can dine at the restaurant at any time. With prior notice, you can tour the brewery and sample the beer and food for €15.90.
