DANUBE GUIDES GERMANY

Ulm/Neu-Ulm / Tuttlingen

Along the Upper Danube in Germany you can find beautiful landscapes, cultural attractions and cities characterized by modern architecture and ancient times.

The area of the upper Danube, in which the city of Tuttlingen is embedded, is one of the most scenic sections of the Danube. Here you can experience a few particularities of the Danube with the Danube breakthrough of the Swabian Alb and the beautiful Danube Valley.
The unique natural phenomenon of the Danube infiltration, where the Danube partially infiltrates the rock and leaves only a dry riverbed, can also be admired here.

The Danube makes the twin city of Ulm/Neu-Ulm something very special. As a natural border, the Danube separates the cities of Ulm and Neu-Ulm. The city of Ulm with the Ulmer Münster – the world-famous gothic cathedral with the highest church spire in the world – and its picturesque old town with the charming Fishermen’s Quarter spreads a historic charm. On the other side of the Danube, the city of Neu-Ulm offers a modern cityscape with beautiful parks and gardens.

Further along the Danube, we pass the Bavarian section of the river between Neuburg a.d. Donau and Ingolstadt, being a rather impressive scenery. Here the Danube is idyllic, enclosed by a typical wetland forest, which rarely exists anymore. With its 2,100 ha, the wetland forest marks the atmosphere of this section of the Danube. In recent years, increased efforts to reinforce and preserve the natural dynamics have been made. With the Ancient Danube Valley (Urdonautal) and the surrounding nature, this stretch of the Danube offers a great nature experience in addition to the two exciting and historic cities.

Just before the Danube leaves Germany, it flows through Passau. Here the two tributaries Inn and Ilz shape the Danube, which is why Passau is also known as the “Three Rivers City”. Passau as a destination benefits from its proximity to the Bavarian Forest and the beautiful natural landscape there. Passau is also home to the environmental education centre “Haus am Strom” which offers a wide range of activities for the young and the old explaining the flora and fauna of the Danube and its special features.
