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/
