Tübingen

The university town of Tübingen is picturesquely located in the Neckar valley between the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura. Travel in time and discover the old town dating back to the Middle Ages which stretches along the Neckar River and looks much as it would have in the 15th and 16th centuries. The remarkably well-preserved medieval centre contrasts with the colourful bustle and lively atmosphere of a young and cosmopolitan student town. Eberhard Karl’s University, one of Germany’s most famous and oldest universities, marks the city of our days.
