Wanderheim Franz-Keller-Haus

On the highest peak of the cold field, the highest elevation of the Ostalb, built in 1908, 1931 acquired and converted by the Swabian Albverein Wanderheim, 1976/77 it was expanded and modernized. The wide plateau with junipers, meadows, fields and forest is an ideal recreational area. Two lookout cliffs - Tannhaldenstein and Christentalfelsen - provide exceptionally scenic views of the Filsalb and Ostalb mountains. Hornberg (gliding school), Rechbergle and Galgenberg are in front of the large mountain massif. At the Furtlepass (630 m) the cold field is connected to the Alb plateau. The Reiterleskapelle am Westfuss is one of the most atmospheric pictures of the Alb.

A really great excursion area with countless rest areas and managed cabins. The Wanderheim Franz-Keller-Haus (781mNN) is open all year round on weekends and public holidays (except Christmas). From the mountain definitely no one hungry again down.

Also very popular with locals. Either buy something on site or grill yourself at the fire pit (at least seems to be allowed).
Lots of seating, large lawn to play.

Always worth it. Sit inside or outside. Barbecues. Toilets modern and clean

Here, too, you get something against your thirst ;-)

Nice hut with food

The destination on the cold field, right at the highest point of the Ostalb district.

Great hiking home [781m] on the "Kalten Feld". A lot going on at the weekend, but there are enough opportunities to "spread out" and barbecue area (s).

Herbal tea made from home-picked herbs!

Here, too, can make a great rest.

When there is little or nothing going on, it is most beautiful.

The highest point of the Ostalbkreis at 781m above sea level is always worth a visit. Especially now in winter in a magnificent snowy landscape

Really nice, but if there are children with you, we recommend having your own toys (ball / frisbee)

Beautiful space and friendly hospitality invite you to linger.

Ideal place for a rest

Ideal place for a break, so the Heroes Tour can be well interrupted.

Always worth a detour.

A must on the cold field

We were here on our 31st SAUvival hike. Not that busy and the shandy was extremely tasty!

Invites you to take a break

Very nice rest stop with sensationally low prices

Very nice location, friendly service, good portions at great prices. I felt very comfortable here.
