most crooked hotel. But fear not, ye of little wonkiness, this early-16th-century, half-
timbered rarity is not about to topple into the Blau River. And up those creaking wood
stairs, in your snug, beamed room, you won't have to buckle yourself to the bed thanks to
spirit levels and specially made height adjusters. If you're feeling

Measuring just 4.5m across, the half-
timbered 'narrow house' is a one-off. The affable Heides have transformed this slender
16th-century pad into a gorgeous B&B, with exposed beams, downy bedding and wood
floors in all three rooms.

It's amazing what you can do with a former monastery and an eye for design. Exposed
beams and stone add historic edge to streamlined rooms with parquet floors and flat-
screen TVs. The chestnut-canopied beer garden is a boon in summer. Take tram 1 from
central Ulm to Söflingen.

on old-world flair, the Bäumle can trace its history way back to 1522 and houses smart,
immaculately kept rooms. Unless you class cathedral bells as 'noise', you're going to love
the location. No lift.
