Snowing day in the city

In every article and city guide about the city I read about University. To be true (shame on me?) I didn't see the university and the most time of mine I spent in the old city enjoying the architecture. It was my day-trip journeu from Stuttgart. It was nice mild-weather a bit-snowing day. I liked the city's calm atmosphere, at least in the old city districts near of the railway station.
Tuebingen has almost a millennium of history, with the castle, the historic Old Town and the medieval buildings. In 1078 Tuebingen was mentioned in writing for the first time, and in the middle of the 13th century Tuebingen achieved town status and civil liberty. In the beginning of XVI century the city fell under control of Baden Wurttemberg. Towards the end of the 15th century Count Eberhard im Barte founded the university.

Tübingen seems to be a popular travel destination in Germany for foreigners, only I haven't been there yet. I just hope you haven't eaten too many cakes in the bakery at the corner.

Interesting page on Tubingen Andrey, especially the Hohentuebingen Castle. The museum and views from the Castle are also a must see.

Tubingen was in our plan last year. But we couldn't manage 3 excursions a day (Hohenzollern and Ludwigsburg except for that)... Well looked in winter!
