Newsroom Efteling - English

This morning (4 December), the first visitors were welcomed to Bäckerei Krümel, the new artisanal bakery on Max & Moritz Plein at Efteling – the fairytale theme park in the south of Holland.

As part of the official opening, the two naughty rascals – Max and Moritz - “hid” the key to the building in a cake to delay proceedings. But the baker kept his cool. When the doors could finally open, the public was invited to be the first to taste traditional oven-baked treats such as tray bakes, rolls and pizza breads. The restaurant, which seats 125 inside and 50 outside, was built sustainably and is heated without gas. With an investment of three million euros, this is the finishing touch to Max & Moritz Plein, which now almost feels like the Alpine village where the two boys, after whom the square is named, live with their mother.
