Getting There & Around
The town has two train stations: trains from Stuttgart (€14.40, 1¼ hours, hourly) arrive at
Hessental, on the right bank about 7km south of the centre and linked to the Altstadt by
bus 1 ; trains from Heilbronn go to the left-bank Bahnhof Schwäbisch Hall, a short walk
along Bahnhofstrasse from the centre.
Ulm
0731 / POP 122,800
Starting with the statistics, Ulm has the crookedest house (as listed in Guinness World Re-
cords ) and one of the narrowest (4.5m wide), the world's oldest zoomorphic sculpture
(aged 30,000 years) and tallest cathedral steeple (161.5m high), and is the birthplace of
the physicist Albert Einstein. Relatively speaking, of course.
This idiosyncratic city will win your affection with everyday encounters, particularly in
summer as you pedal along the Danube and the Fischerviertel's beer gardens hum with
animated chatter. One Helles too many and you may decide to impress the locals by at-
tempting the tongue twister: ' In Ulm, um Ulm, und um Ulm herum.'
