The story
Gasthof Zum Bayerischen Wald sits at Marktstr. 2 in Wegscheid, Germany, where the kitchen follows traditional Bavarian cooking. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the inn 1,5 Kochlöffel in 2026, and the family has run the house since 1639.
The menu leans on hearty, traditional fare. Pork roast, zander and schnitzel are among the dishes the Schlemmer Atlas singled out. Kaiserschmarren, a torn pancake dessert, closes many meals. Daily dishes use regional and seasonal produce, and the set lunch menu adds vegetarian and vegan options.
The inn began as a small tavern and grew into a guesthouse with rooms, and the Escherich family has carried it through generations. A guest garden on the grounds gives diners a place to sit outdoors.
