    Hiking

    In the fishing district of Ulm is the historic "Saumarkt", which served as a marketplace for the pig trade until the 20th century. The real name of the place is pig market. At the former place as a Saumarkt reminds a small memorial on the place with an inscription in "Räsen-German": "Dr Metzgr ond dr Baur at the Handl om dui sow".

    The sculpture reminds of how the pigs used to be traded here.

    Hiking

    There is a 2-day festival of the same name in May on the Saumarkt, which is the prelude to the festivals in Ulm. A detour is definitely worth it.
