Holzmarkt is not really a biergarten but you can drink beer next to the river and it’s amazing! We love this place - and it’s like 10 minutes walking from home. They have some food options inside, like bakery, pizza, burger, cakes, etc. Also KATERSCHMAUS restaurant is located inside. It’s a beautiful restaurant next to the river, a 10-15 minute walk from our house. Great option for lunch, with lunch specials for 10 euros. For dinner it’s more expensive, with dishes starting at 18 euros.
