Start your new life in beautiful southwest Germany
The Swabian Alb
The Swabian Alb is home to the largest number of caves in Germany, numerous ancient volcanoes, quarries teeming with fossils, two sites of 15 million year old meteorite craters and Blautopf, a 21 m deep karst spring that emits an intense blue hue due to light scattering on tiny lime particles, making it one of the most popular tourist attractions among the many important geotopes of the region.
In addition, visitors will find numerous opportunities for hiking, biking, climbing, skiing and water sports.
As a biosphere reserve, the UNESCO Global Geopark Swabian Alb is characterized by its many conservation measures and local initiatives. Travelers open to learning about the region’s heritage of harmony with nature will return home with impressions that will last a lifetime.
Inspiring stories about the Swabian Alb

Meena Sundaresan
Life has put me in two worlds across the Atlantic. Born in Canada and raised in the U.S., I’ve lived in Germany for over 14 years and it continues to be my home.
Drawing from my exposure to both cultures, I hope to help you experience southwest Germany in a way that’s uniquely yours.
