Blaubeuren

Blaubeuren has served as a monastic centre in the Swabian Alb since the 11th century, when the Benedictine monastery was founded in 1085. The town is closely associated with the Blautopf, a deep blue karst spring and source of the Blau River; it flows east through Ulm to the Danube. The former abbey’s late-Gothic church and cloister testify to its long religious importance. At the Urgeschichtliches Museum, Ice Age discoveries introduce the caves of the nearby Ach Valley, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura.
