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.

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.

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.

Amacebiso ngesixeko
Iindlela zokonga
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.
Izinto omele uzipakishe
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.
