During summer, head 3.5km west of town to this local secret, a wooden shack hidden in the forest footsteps from a white-sand beach on the Steyr River. Sit at its outdoor picnic tables to down regional Zipfer beers and dine on whole fish (pike or zander), pork and beef ribs grilled on the barbecue (mains €6.50 to €13).
