Does anyone have recommendations for things to see between Triberg, Germany and Ulm?
 
I will be stopping at Triberg waterfall and Sigmaringen castle on the way to Ulm. Is there anything else in that vicinity that I should be sure to see? Just fishin'...thanks.

If you have an interest in such things - - and an "insider" to get you (a) ticket(s), I strongly recommend the Porsche factory tour in Stuttgart. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Jerry, <BR>Stop in Zwiefalten; it's about half way between Sigmaringen and Ulm. Visit the Baroque church in town. Austere on the outside, it's a riot of Baroque stucco work, statuary and painting. Should prove an interesting contrast to the Gothic cathedral in Ulm. The drive from Zwiefalten (Rte 312) east via Rte 311 to Ehingen on the way to Ulm is particularly scenic.

There's a castle called "Burg Hollenzollern" near the town of Hechingen off rte 27 about 30 minutes north of Sigmarigen. If you saw a picture of it you'd have to go there. I think it's the most impressive castle in Germany; after Neuschwanstein. Rex can probably give you a website. <BR>

<BR>Spelling correction...that's 'Hohenzollern'

Too easy...website is http://burghohenzollern.de Has a great picture! <BR>

Excellent suggestions all...thanks a million for your guidance.

I agree that Hohenzollern can look magnificent from the road, especially if you approach it from the north. <BR> <BR>Unfortunately, it too is a fake, just like Neuschwanstein, which for me detracts greatly from its appeal.

hi there, <BR>two more things are on Your way: the monastier of "Beuron", a very special type of the baroque style archtecture. And right before reaching Ulm "Blaubeuren". Lot of prehistoric things to find here, also a nice church and one of the most romantic springs in the world. <BR>have fun <BR>Gar
