A wonderful place to stop for local BBQ. I recommend their turkey sandwich. The Granzin's family has been in New Braunfels for years, also enjoy their meat market and Naeglin's bakery. The oldest bakery in Texas.

A New Braunfels classic, I love to walk to this coffee shop on a slow morning from the cottage and sit outside. It is a beautiful way to start your morning.

Laundry

Awesome customer service and great prices for having laundry washed while you stay at the cottage. It's also only 0.3 miles away or a 6 min walk. Makes not having a washer/dryer no problem at all!

My favorite spots in nature

Landa Park is an absolute gem in this town! I grew up going to their Thursday evening free concerts and still love to go as an adult. Enjoy walking around and being in one of the most picturesque parks in all of Texas.

This park is almost empty on the weekdays and on a beautiful stretch of the river.

Great spot to get in if you want to float the Comal River. If you are attempting to float on the weekend, I recommend parking on the streets around Muck & Fuss restaurant and walking over the bridge to the park. This helps to avoid traffic and park for free. Plus there is hardly ever a parking spot anyways.

Canyon Lake is a great place to spend a day and bring a picnic. I recommend renting a boat for the day.

Everyone has to visit Austin! It is famous for it's "weird" scene. Even though it has been majorly changed in recent years you can still find the classic hippies and great art scene in Austin. I recommend Barton Springs and their unique restaurants. One of my favs is Launderette.

Consejos para los viajeros

Modos de ahorrar

Buy a tube when you float the river

If you plan on floating the river just once, it is worth buying a tube and inflating it yourself. Save $50 by bringing your own tube and walk once you get out of the Comal back to where you parked.
Qué meter en la maleta

Bring water shoes

There are lots of areas in New Braunfels where owning a pair of waterproof sandals is a necessity. When you float the river, don't forget to bring them too!

Restaurants in Austin or San Antonio

The nearby big cities like Austin and San Antonio are great trips for a wonderful meal. However, they sometimes have to be booked weeks in advance.

Pedestrians

People walking in Gruene or downtown New Braunfels often do not make it to a cross walk so be sure to keep your attention out for jay walkers.
