Merkendorf is a small village just north of Memmeldorf so can also make a good base for exploring the area. Starting your trek on the 13 Brauereien Weg here is also a good option. Aside from that what this place offers is two fine small breweries, both offering great inexpensive food and large portfolios of good beer.
Brauerei Hummel
Brauerei Wagner
Hummel Keller (closed in 2017 after 35 years)
