Blautopf Remains Accessible Amid Renovations

Blaubeuren's iconic spring will stay open through construction via temporary bridges, addressing public and business concerns.

The Blautopf, a popular tourist attraction near Ulm, will not be fully closed during its four-year renovation project.
Temporary bridges will allow visitors to access the site starting January, despite ongoing construction work.
Local businesses, impacted by the initial closure plans, have faced significant revenue losses and are considering legal action for compensation.
The renovation aims to enhance the area around the spring, with the project expected to be completed by December 2028.
The Blautopf's striking blue color is due to light refraction in the water, a unique feature that continues to draw tourists.
