VACATION

Discover the small, picturesque alleys of the historic university town of Tübingen, or enjoy the Neckar River aboard a traditional "Stocherkahn" punt boat or actively on the water with a stand-up paddleboard. But Tuebingen has many more highlights to offer.

Art & Culture in Tuebingen

Tübingen captivates with a diverse cultural offering: Explore Schloss Hohentübingen, where the DNA substance "nuclein" was first isolated in 1869 and hemoglobin was studied. The museum "Alte Kulturen" displays exhibits covering a cultural history period of approximately 40,000 years. Alternatively, visit the medieval Bebenhausen monastery and combine it with a walk through the beautiful forests of Schoenbuch.

Art lovers will be inspired by the changing exhibitions of 20th and 21st-century art at the Kunsthalle Tuebingen. Another highlight is the newly opened Neue Kunst Museum Tübingen, which delights visitors of all ages with its changing exhibitions.

Nature & highlights of the "Swabian Alb"

The idyllic Swabian Jura is also always worth at least a day trip: Explore Hohenzollern Castle, conquer the steep climbs and gentle hills of the biosphere reserve and the Früchtetrauf on foot or by bike (mountain bikes and e-bikes available for rent at the hotel), or simply unwind in one of the many spas.
