Hiking
while all the onlookers waited for you to jump and fly like a bird over the Danube? How must the 'Tailor of Ulm' have felt on the day of his failed attempt at flying?
Imagine it and put yourself in Berblinger's shoes. At the former jumping-off point
at the Eagle Bastion, the 'Berblinger Tower', which is inclined at 10 degrees, is accessible.
The spiral staircase winds its way dizzyingly upwards, step by step.

The tower stands directly at the Adlerbastion, from where a tailor from Ulm attempted to fly in 1811. That's why there is a sculpture of scissors down on the bank.

Hiking
The tailor from Ulm was not allowed to hover over the Danube - downwinds, which were unknown when King Friedrich I visited in 1811, led to his crash.
The 22m high, expensive tower, in which the wind plays a decisive role, has been in place since Wednesday, May 20th, 2020.
The work of art was planned with € 500,000. It was surprising that if you dig at the city wall you will encounter parts of the city wall. A mere € 250,000 additional costs!
