Quiet cabin with a covered bench in the woods. I like to take a break there and recently interesting information boards were put up.

Very, very delicious food and super friendly service. Prices are absolutely fair. The beer garden is really nicely overgrown. Really worth it.

Aicha Climbing Area and Climbing Center: The Ansbach climbing center is classified as Category II according to the German Alpine Club (DAV) guidelines. Due to its superior facilities, it is ideally suited as a self-catering hut for multi-day winter or summer stays. The hut is accessible by car but is located far away from any through traffic. The location is therefore ideal for school classes, groups, families, cyclists, or hikers planning excursions, seminars, or celebrations. It is particularly popular and frequently visited by professional climbers or those aspiring to become professional climbers. The hut offers sleeping accommodations for 29 people and is equipped with a modern kitchen and two washrooms with a total of four showers (cold and hot water). The spacious, partially covered outdoor area with a fire pit and barbecue area invites numerous outdoor activities. If you don't feel like cooking, you can also get food from the inn just 100 meters away. The rock formation above the small hamlet of Aicha comprises six main massifs: Merl Towers, Weiße Wand, Fensterlwand, Oberlandwand, Münchner Wand, and Aichaer Wand. On the Weiße Wand, the largest massif in the Aicha Forest, one finds almost exclusively hole climbing. The "Weiße Grat" (White Ridge), rated III, is one of the most rewarding of the easier routes in Konstein. A special highlight for experienced climbers is the "Mittlere Weiße" (Middle White Ridge), rated VI+. The Aichaer Wand offers many extreme routes and beautiful crack climbs. At the Winnetou Kettle – located to the left above the Münchner Wand – you can often see entire "climber families." The reason: There's a plateau at the bottom of the rock that's ideal for playing for young climbers, and the wall itself isn't insurmountable for young climbers either.

A fantastic location in the heart of the Urdonautal Valley, with views of the Dohlenfelsen rock formation and Wellheim Castle (which is unfortunately currently under scaffolding). Friendly service. Unbeatable value for money! The chef cooks with passion!

The Konstein Nature Friends' House is located in the famous Wellheimer Trockental valley, a market town in the beautiful Altmühl Valley. Our Nature Friends' House is idyllically situated in the heart of the Urdonautal valley on the Galgenberg (446 meters above sea level), at the foot of which the Schutter River rises. In our cozy dining room or idyllic beer garden, we serve regional cuisine as well as a wide selection of hearty snacks, coffee, cakes, and ice cream. https://www.naturfreundehaus-konstein.de/ The price/performance ratio fully met our expectations.
