A self-service hut at an altitude of almost 1,800 meters with a beautiful sun terrace at the foot of the Aggenstein.The dining room inside is very cozy.I stopped there on the descent from Aggenstein for a well-deserved wheat beer, which at 5.20 euros wasn't really overpriced.All I can say about the food is that the cakes on display 🍰 looked very tasty.I can recommend the hut for a rest.

A brilliant location and not far from the Aggenstein summit. The food was good, even if the menu was rather “clear”.

We stayed in the hut for one night - in a double room - a dream, the view of the Tannheimer Valley or towards Pfronten is great. The landlady was very friendly and willing to provide information. We had booked half board and the dinner was great and we were totally surprised by the breakfast offer - that's why 5 🌟
