The Deutsches Haus has existed since 1872. Initially, the focus was on agriculture, and a small snack bar was part of the Deutsches Hof. Today, the country inn consists of its own butcher shop, a hotel, and additional dining areas.

The Boßlerhaus, a nature lovers' lodge, is picturesquely situated on the northern edge of the Swabian Alb, at an altitude of 785 meters above sea level, between the idyllic villages of Gruibingen and Weilheim. From here, one has a magnificent panoramic view of the Three Emperor Mountains and the landscape in front of the Swabian Alb.
