Citywalk along the Danube in Ulm

☀️ Ulm is located on the Danube River in Germany and is the birthplace of scientist Albert Einstein. It is a one and a half hour train ride from Munich. . ☀️ Recommended travel route in Ulm: Start at the central train station—Bread Culture Museum—Cathedral—Ulm Kunsthalle Museum—Town Hall—Fishermen's Quarter. The entire trip takes about two hours. . ☀️ The Bread Culture Museum displays the culture and history of bread, including artworks such as paintings and sculptures. There are a total of 18,000 exhibits, with 700 on long-term display. 📌 Location: Salzstadelgasse 10 📌 Hours: Monday 10:00-15:00, Wednesday 10:00-19:00, other times 10:00-17:00 . ☀️ The main tower of Ulm Cathedral in picture 6️⃣ is 161.6 meters high, 4.6 meters taller than the world-famous Cologne Cathedral. In 1944, a stray shell pierced a hole in the main tower of the cathedral. The restoration project took 10 years after the war, and by 1970 it was largely restored to its original appearance. Its current height is second only to the Sagrada Familia in Spain. . ☀️ The Kunsthalle Museum is right next to the cathedral, a white modern building housing a private collection of modern artworks and frequently hosting various special exhibitions. Both the building itself and the collections are worth seeing. 📌 Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 11:00-17:00 . ☀️ The Town Hall in pictures 7️⃣8️⃣ was built in the 14th century and consists of three different parts. The oldest part was built in 1357 as a commercial building but has since been demolished. The part expanded in 1370 is called the "New Commercial Building" and has been used as the Town Hall since 1419, featuring Gothic windows and murals depicting virtues, commandments, and vices on the outer walls. An astronomical clock was installed in 1952. The interior was destroyed during World War II. . ☀️ The Fishermen's Quarter (picture 🔢5️⃣) was once home to fishermen and craftsmen who made tools. It still retains the charm of its old streets. In the Fishermen's Quarter, there is a 14th-century "Crooked House," which is locally famous and listed in the Guinness World Records as the "world's most crooked hotel" (picture 9️⃣). . ☀️ For a deeper exploration, it is recommended to visit the Blautopf and the Wiblingen Monastery Library, both about half an hour away from Ulm by bus and walking. . .
