A traditional excursion destination on the Obersalzberg

Welcome to Restaurant Café Graflhöhe — Windbeutelbaron®, your traditional destination on the Obersalzberg in Berchtesgaden. Since 1930, our establishment has stood for Bavarian hospitality, culinary specialties, and an unparalleled panoramic view of the Berchtesgaden Alps.

For generations

From dairy to gourmet meeting place

Founded in 1930 as a dairy by our great-grandfather, our inn has evolved over four generations into a popular meeting place for gourmets. What began as a small alpine hut is today a lovingly maintained alpine restaurant with 206 seats — and the original Berlin recipe for our famous giant cream puff.
