Unfortunately, the blue pot was not blue that day, due to the storm in the last few days around Ulm, but still a really beautiful old town that is worth visiting, many old half-timbered houses, monasteries ...
Everything was very, very clean. We also visited a really delicious ice cream parlor € 1.20 per scoop which is worth it.

After spending the night in Blaubeuren, I seized the opportunity and walked around the Blautopf all by myself. Not a soul on the road in the dreary, wet and cold weather in Blaubeuren. Where otherwise hundreds of interested people cavort, I didn't even meet a cat ;-)
