There are also overnight accommodations here (30 beds). This is a good opportunity, especially for school classes, to use the hut as a school camp, for example.

I was there shortly after 11 a.m. (11 a.m. opens) and immediately got a highly recommended cappuccino at a reasonable price. Very nicely located and even when it rains (like today) there are seating options under umbrellas. Definitely recommended as a break!

Coming from the Urach Waterfalls to the romantic view from the sloping slide rock. Recently there was a musical interlude from people standing in a circle there - somewhat mysterious.

Beautiful beer garden. Hosted by the DAV. Small menu, but tasty. On certain days there is also live music. https://eningen.albverein.eu/wanderheim

Refreshments with "honest cuisine", as the boss himself says. We just think it's delicious. There is a daily meal that is simple but well cooked with fresh ingredients. Today we had delicious vegetable soup from the enamel pot. There is also always sausage salad, Maultaschen, etc. We like to come here.
