Tips from the Community
Historic inn on the Kuchalb, named after the landlady Franziska Wagenblast, who died in 1920, commonly known as "Mutter Franzl", who in her rough but warm manner was a Swabian original. She is the subject of numerous anecdotes and indispensable to the history of the Schwäbischer Albverein. After a long renovation break, the inn was reopened at the beginning of 2025 under new (gastronomically renowned) management. Hearty dishes, regional specialties, and refreshing drinks await you in a cozy atmosphere, whether indoors in the rustic dining room or outdoors on the sunny terrace. Reservations are often advisable. Current pictures and opening hours at https://mutter-franzl.de/
