Swabia: Stuttgart to Ulm – Route Guide
Last updated:
The Germany of engineers and philosophers: Porsche and Mercedes museums in Stuttgart, punts gliding under Tübingen's gables, and Hohenzollern castle riding its cloud-bank like a Wagner set. End beneath Ulm Minster's steeple. The world's tallest, in the town that produced Einstein. Maultaschen for lunch; the Swabians hide the meat from God.
