Blaustein
This small town on the Blau River in Baden-Württemberg, just west of Ulm, Blaustein carries a notable piece of history: the boarding school Landschulheim Herrlingen, founded here in 1926 by Jewish educator Anna Essinger, whose 66 Jewish pupils she moved to safety in England in 1933 as Nazism rose. The town sits in the Alb-Donau district amid upland terrain, with scenic viewpoints in the surrounding area and a modest café and restaurant scene in its centre.
