Wellheim is a municipality in the district of Eichstätt in Bavaria in Germany. It lies in the so called "Urdonautal", the valley the denube some 300 000 years ago used on its way to the Black Sea. Today a little river, the "Schutter" flows through the village in the opposite direction (north-south vs. south-north). The community consists of 5 villages (Aicha, Hard, Gammersfeld, Biesenhard, Konstein and Wellheim) and has about 2800 inhabitants. Today there is no industry at all but a wonderful landscape with a pure nature.
