A local would say...

The world's most crooked hotel is here, the Butcher's Tower leans 2m sideways, and the fishermen's houses still hang over a river — Ulm's quarter competes with itself for strangeness.

Ulm's charming old fishers' and tanners' quarter, built along the two channels of the tiny Blau River, crossed by a series of footbridges. Half-timbered houses lean over the quiet waterways, housing art galleries and restaurants. The quarter also contains the 'world's crookedest hotel' and the Metzgerturm (Butcher's Tower) leaning 2m off-centre.
