Ulm Old Town and Landmarks

Highlight • Historical Site

Ulm is one of the most important places that you pass on the Danube Cycle Path. Incidentally, the Ulm Minster is a church of superlatives as the largest Protestant church in Germany, which has the highest church tower in the world with a tower that is around 161 meters high.

View of Ulm Skyline from the Danube

Highlight • Viewpoint

You have the best view of the Ulm skyline with the highest church tower in the world from the bank of the Danube on the Neu-Ulm side. It is worth crossing the river and enjoying the view before or after the tour of the old town.

Ulm Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The exterior facade of the town hall is truly unique with its painting. Therefore, you should take a little time to look at it in peace.

View of the Danube and Günzburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

"GÜNZ": derives from a Celtic river goddess named "Guntia" (or "Contia" and "Gontia").

At the southernmost point of the Günz Valley, at an elevation of 802 m above sea level, lies the source of the eastern Günz. After 39 km, the watercourse joins the western Günz near Lauben and then forms the actual Günz, which flows into the Danube after another 55 km near Günzburg.

Danube Cycle Path Near Günzburg

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you can drive a few kilometers directly along the Danube embankment. For me, this is a welcome change, as the official Danube Cycle Route is often a bit away from the Danube.

May 26, 2022,Donauradweg Tag 6 - Von Ulm nach Dillingen 🚴🚴‍♂️☀️⛅

Each stage on the cycle path has its "specials"! Today more birdsong than street noise, more dirt roads than asphalt. On the other hand, not quite as interesting places or cities as before.

From Ulm it's almost the whole time through the forest, the Danube meadows or along the dam.
The landscape is really beautiful 😍 and it's really comfortable …

Bike tour with a flat, gently descending profile. The only significant climbs are in the town centers of Leipheim and Günzburg, which are located on hills.

June 16, 2025,Tag 3 Ulm - Höchstädt an der Donau

Since we only had a shorter route planned today and the weather wasn't expected to improve until midday, we first did some sightseeing in Ulm. After visiting Ulm Minster and a snack break, we finally set off. Today's route featured many beautiful forest trails, gravel paths right along the Danube, and picturesque towns.

August 15, 2023,Donau-Radweg - Tag 4: Von Ulm nach Höchstädt an der Donau

Our fourth day on the Danube Cycle Path takes us from Ulm to Höchstädt on the Danube.

The tour starts very nicely and leads to Thalfingen on nice paths directly along the Danube for the first 8.5 km. The Danube is already significantly wider here and the banks are less wild and unspoiled than on the first 200 km of …

May 10, 2025,Ulm - Höchstadt

Shortly after Ulm, we crossed into Bavaria. It was gusty again, but the sun was shining. Before Günzburg, we cycled along forest and gravel paths to the Danube, then through Gundelfingen, Lauingen, and Dillendingen, mostly on good bike paths along the country road, which wasn't so great. As beautiful as the towns were with their spruced-up town houses and shops, …

Danube cycle path

This time our wheels didn't warn on the car, but they were allowed to travel by train for the first time. Unfortunately I can't tell you what the bikes cost extra because we couldn't select that at the ticket machine. The ticket for 2 people from Blindheim to Ulm cost €33.
So we traveled quite comfortably to …
