Activity itinerary

Ulm Minster (Pass by)

Marvel at the world's tallest church spire soaring 161 metres into the sky above this magnificent Gothic cathedral. Climb the tower's 768 steps to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across Ulm and the Danube River below.

Die Einsteins (Pass by)

Discover the modest building where Albert Einstein was born in 1879, now housing a fascinating museum dedicated to his early life. Explore interactive exhibits that reveal how the world's most famous physicist spent his formative years in this charming German city.

Fishermen's Quarter (Pass by)

Stroll through picturesque cobblestone streets lined with perfectly preserved half-timbered houses dating back centuries. Experience the romantic atmosphere as you walk alongside the crystal-clear River Blau and cross the historic 700-year-old bridge.

Hans und Sophie Scholl Denkmal (Pass by)

Pass by this moving memorial honouring the courageous siblings who founded the White Rose resistance movement against Nazi Germany. Reflect on their brave legacy as you learn how these Ulm-born heroes sacrificed their lives for freedom at just 21 and 24 years old.

Ulm city wall (Pass by)

Walk atop the remarkably well-preserved medieval fortifications that once protected this ancient city. Enjoy spectacular views over the Danube River while exploring one of Germany's longest remaining city wall sections.

The Leaning House (Pass by)

Witness Schiefe Haus, this famously tilted half-timbered building that leans precariously over the River Blau at an impossible angle. Marvel at how this 14th-century structure, now a charming hotel, has defied gravity for over 500 years.
