A piece of culture combined with Bavarian cordiality and good service. 400 years of family tradition are also 400 years of inn history and these make the Huberwirt a small piece of Bavarian culture.

Alexander Huber obtains his goods exclusively from selected producers from the region around Pleiskirchen or from top suppliers of the top gastronomy. In the kitchen, the quality of the goods is paramount: meat and sausage products are made in the in-house butchery and all dishes are prepared from foods that are made from basic ingredients themselves.
