Guided Story
Feel the crunch of gravel under your feet? It's almost like the soldiers of the past are still marching here. Look up at those thick walls; they whisper secrets of when Ulm was a key strategic point. Behind you, in the distance, the König-Wilhelm Tower stands tall, once serving as a lookout. Courtine XVII wasn’t just a line of defense; it was a stage for countless human stories. Imagine soldiers standing guard, their eyes scanning the horizon, ever watchful to defend the city. Despite the imposing architecture, there's a strange tranquility here, as if the walls have absorbed the stories and now quietly share them with the wind.
