The Journey
Tübingen Town Hall

Ascend the clock tower for a stunning view of the old town and surrounding Neckar valley. Don't miss the intricate details of the facade, depicting historical events and allegorical figures.
Hohentübingen Castle
Ascend to Hohentübingen Castle, an imposing fortress perched atop a hill overlooking Tübingen. With origins tracing back to the 11th century, this castle has served as a ducal residence and a strategic stronghold. Explore the well-preserved ruins, wander through its courtyards, and revel in the panoramic views that stretch across the old town, the Neckar River, and the rolling hills of the Swabian Alb. The castle also houses a fascinating museum showcasing archaeological finds and the history of the region.
Neckarinsel (Neckar Island)
Escape to the idyllic Neckarinsel, a narrow island in the heart of Tübingen. Stroll along its leafy riverside paths, enjoying picturesque views of the colorful half-timbered houses that line the Neckar River. This car-free haven offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Watch the Stocherkähne (punt boats) glide by, and soak in the charming atmosphere that has inspired artists and poets for centuries. This is the perfect place for a leisurely walk, a picnic, or simply enjoying the beauty of Tübingen.
Hölderlin Tower
Visit the striking yellow Hölderlin Tower, where the renowned German poet Friedrich Hölderlin spent the last 36 years of his life. Situated along the peaceful Neckar River, this tower served as Hölderlin's home after he was deemed mentally unfit to live alone. Today, it houses a museum dedicated to his life and works, offering insights into his poetry and the circumstances surrounding his later years. Explore the tower's exhibits and reflect on the life of a literary genius who found solace in this tranquil setting.
Leberkäsewähe (Swabian Pastry)
