About Ulm Hbf

Ulm Hbf is the main railway station of the historic city of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg, an important junction on the Stuttgart–Munich ICE main line where it meets the route southward toward Kempten and the Allgäu. The station was substantially rebuilt in the late 20th century and handles a high frequency of ICE and IC long-distance trains as well as regional services across Swabia and into Bavaria. Ulm's Gothic minster — home to the world's tallest church spire — is visible from the station approaches, and the vibrant Fischerviertel old quarter is within easy walking distance for arriving passengers.

The Ulm Minster with its 768 steps to the spire gallery is the city's iconic attraction, and the adjacent Fishermen's Quarter (Fischerviertel) with its leaning Schiefes Haus is particularly photogenic.
