Maps and trails
Geographically, Neu-Ulm is located directly on the border with Bavaria and is characterised by the Danube river. The city is known for its picturesque old town and the Ulm Cathedral - one of the highest church towers in the world.

Touristically relevant are above all the numerous sights such as Illereichen Castle or the Benedictine Abbey of St. Stephan. Cultural highlights are offered in particular by a visit to the Edwin Scharff Museum or the Neu-Ulm Theatre.

But the district also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: From traditional dishes such as spaetzle and Maultaschen to international specialities, you will find everything your heart desires.

The area around the Blautopf, a karst spring near Blaubeuren, is particularly suitable for outdoor activities. Here you can hike, cycle or simply relax and enjoy nature. In winter, the skiing area on the Grünten with its slopes and cross-country skiing trails is also very attractive.

And if it rains? Then a visit to the Atlantis leisure pool with its sauna area or a tour of the Legoland Discovery Centre in Günzburg is recommended.

All in all, Neu-Ulm is definitely worth a trip! Whether you are a family, a couple or an adventurer travelling alone - there is something for everyone to discover here. Let our Travel Guide inspire you and experience the beauty of the Neu-Ulm district.

    Eine ganz tolle Tour, abwechslungsreich und gar nicht so schwer, gute Beschilderung! Die Alternative über den Panoramaweg ist empfehlenswert!

    Eine schöne Halbtagestour, insbesondere der Blick ins weite Land von der Kirche in Oberelchingen, auch ein Gang durch den Klostergarten lohnt sich.

    Es kommt drauf an, was man erwartet... Fast ausschließlich Asphalt, teilweise lange Wege zwischen zwei Stationen, ein Stück an der Ausfallstraße lang. Wir haben den unteren Teil "abgekürzt", an der Donau entlang.

    Sehr schöne Tour für den sportiven Radfahrer. Die Streckenführung entdeckt so manchen Höhenmeter, den man eigentlich umgehen könnte und die Schleife bei Beimerstetten reizt zumindest zur Abkürzung, aber trotzdem lohnt es sich die Tour ganz zu fahren. Der kurze Abschnitt auf der B10 kann durch den östlichen Landwirtschaftsweg bequem und stressfrei umgangen werden.
