Founded in the mid-9th century, Ulm enjoyed a long history as a free imperial city, ruled only by the Holy Roman Emperor with no pesky princes in between. An important trade town for centuries, Ulm was also the birthplace of Albert Einstein. Rising 530 feet, Ulm Minster has the world’s tallest steeple, the top of which can be reached via 768 steps. Ulm’s younger sister city, Neo Ulm (or New Ulm) lies just across the Danube River and is part of Bavaria rather than Baden-Wurttemberg.

Meandering through the botanical gardens situated on the hills outside Ulm near the Hochschule has become a returning habit through the seasons. Each time you will be met by a different setting and watching nature take its course is at times a mesmerising experience. Like photography? Bring on those cameras and experiment with light settings and focus, it is just the place for that. All kinds of wonderful creatures including frogs in the pond, small fishies and birds...All of them are patient (most often) objects to focus on, always ready to show their beauty at that particular moment. The glass houses contains rare plants that would not normally not survive the local outside and is a pleasure to visit. And while you're there during the summer season... Do pay a visit to the garden restaurant which serves greek/german small dishes, ice cream and beverages to go with it from beer to lemonades. Very agreeable indeed and a perfect start or closure for a stroll through the park. PS Do take the walk along the waterfall that ends in the valley...beautifully layed out and created with support of a local sponsor DS
