Seeing the Lion Man of Hohlenstein-Stadel at Museum Ulm was a thrill. The journey to Ulm made the experience all the more worthwhile.
I reckon the Lion Man is a must-see for anybody keen to experience an overwhelming sense of wonder and fascination. If you can manage to take a gander at it, consider a trip to Ulm. You won’t be disappointed.
But don’t take my word for it.
This video produced by the British Museum (which for a while kept and exhibited the artefact) offers a much more detailed and eloquent take on this Ice Age scuplture’s significance. Check it out:
I hope you enjoyed reading about my Lion Man adventure and that this series of posts may help with your own travel plans. Basel, Baden-Baden and Ulm are each singularly excellent destinations and all sorts of itineraries can lead you to fun and fascination.
