In the Lone Valley in the Swabian Alb, rocks, forests, and meadows converge. The Lone River flows leisurely through the valley, past caves and quiet clearings. St. Ulrich's Church lies in the midst of this ancient cultural landscape. First mentioned in the Middle Ages, it was rebuilt in 1605. Its interior is characterized by ornate altars, statues, and colorful windows.
