Step into the birthplace of the brilliant Albert Einstein - Ulm. Situated on the opposite side of the Danube River in the picturesque region of Bavaria, the city of Neu-Ulm enchants with its unique charm. As the seasons change, Ulm reveals its mystical side, enveloped by dense fog that often limits visibility to a mere 30 to 50 meters. Watch in awe as the illuminated church disappears into this ethereal fog, creating a mesmerizing sight. Throughout the city, statues of sparrows, affectionately known as "Spatzen," pay homage to the residents of Ulm and serve as symbols of the city's identity. Legend has it that during the construction of the cathedral, workers were inspired by a sparrow carrying a piece of straw lengthwise, rather than sideways, into its nest. This clever observation unlocked the mystery of transporting long wooden beams into the church. Ulm is also famed for its tongue-twister: In Ulm, um Ulm und um Ulm herum (In Ulm, around Ulm, and all around Ulm). Discover the allure and history of this remarkable city as you weave through its streets and delve into its captivating stories.
