General presentation
Ulm
City on the Danube, known for the highest church fleche in the world, its fishing districts and its Swabian access.
To understand what Ulm is, you must look at the Cathedral of Ulm, Fischerviertel and Danube in Ulm. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes and heritage and to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 2 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: short stay and climb of the demanding fleche. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Aalen
Aalen keep the memory of the Roman border of the Limes, especially around the museum dedicated to the Roman cavalry and traces of fortification. The city, laid between the Swabian Jura and the roads to the Ulm, especially for this very legible link between archaeology, limestone relief and small squares of the center.
Heritage
Cathédrale d'Ulm
The cathedral d'Ulm appreciates itself as an experience of progressive height: approach, interior, stained glass, volumes. The place reveals its strength when moving slowly and comparing several points of view before choosing its place of break.
Town or village
Fischerviertel
Fischerviertel tells Ulm about its busy streets and its old neighborhood atmosphere. The best is to walk through it by varying paths, which reveals daily usages as well as architectural identity.
Town or village
Danube à Ulm
In Ulm, the Danube accompanies the city with open docks, walkways and views to the old neighborhoods. At the end of the day, the river is well discovered, when the facades are reflected in the water and the promenade is effortlessly linked to the quieter areas of the banks.
