Ulm is a city on the Danube River in the German state of Baden-Württemberg in the south of the country. It has a long history - the name "Ulma" appears in sources as early as 856, and Ulm has had city rights since 1181. Walking around the city, one can see a successful mix of historical buildings and modern, also very futuristic buildings.
The largest monument here is the Gothic cathedral famous for having the world's tallest tower. From it you can enjoy views of the immediate and somewhat distant surroundings of Ulm. Attractions in the city include the Fischerviertel - the Fishermen's Quarter stretching along the banks of the Danube. Here you can stroll along narrow, cobblestone streets amid charming little houses. One of them, known as Schiefes Haus, or the late Gothic "crooked house," is deflected from the vertical by about 10° due to the rather sodden ground. Ulm offers a large number of cultural events with the most famous one, the Danube Festival, at the top, many theaters, art galleries and interesting museums such as the Bread and Art Museum. While you're here, be sure to stop by Germany's largest botanical garden, run by the University of Ulm. It covers an area of 28 hectares and showcases vegetation from all of Earth's climatic zones. Friedrichsau Park, with its small lakes and picnic areas, will also be a good place for a stroll in the city.

.Olawawa is a city in Lower Silesia province, in the Wroclaw agglomeration. The town, located on the Oława (known as the Oławka) and Odra rivers, and currently inhabited by about 33,000 people, traces its history back to the 12th century and the Middle Ages.
.The most important attraction in the city is the Piast Castle in Olawa, also known as Luisa's Palace. It was erected on the site of Prince Louis I's former Gothic hunting lodge from the late 14th century and has been rebuilt many times over the years. Olawa's town hall dates from the first half of the 19th century. On its Baroque tower, a remnant from the previous town hall, is a 17th-century figural-astronomical clock with moving figures. Inside is the worthwhile Museum Chamber of Olawa Land, a small regional museum that collects antiquities, coins and postcards from Olawa and the surrounding area, as well as a collection of militaria or exhibitions of sculptures and ceramics by local artists. Several beautiful Baroque townhouses can also be seen in the area.
.It is worth taking a walk in the city park located in the southern part of Olawa along the Olawka River. Also nearby is an old Jewish cemetery with dozens of preserved matzevot. Also awaiting visitors to the city is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Consolation, the oldest church in Olawa with the remains of a Gothic chancel from around 1300 and several valuable monuments of sacred art.
.The city lies 27 kilometers southeast of Wroclaw. Oława is crossed by national road 94 and provincial roads: 396 and 455. The city has a railroad station and an Oława PKS station. The railroad connection between Wroclaw and Olawa was established as early as 1842 and is the oldest in Poland. Trains to Olawa stop at the railroad station on Szopena Street, adjacent to the city park. The Oława PKS bus station is located at 3 Maja Street and serves both intercity and international connections.
