"Why Visiting New Ulm is Fun and Interesting"

Dance your lederhosen off at our many festivals. Ride through our scenic river valley or explore the oak-shaded bluffs and sand-bottomed pool of Flandrau State Park. Stroll around downtown and hear history – and our 45-foot-tall Glockenspiel – come alive. Toast one of America’s oldest brewing traditions at the August Schell Brewery. Or take a breather – and take in the breath-taking view – from high atop Hermann Monument. Fishing or boating is available on the Minnesota River that flows right through town and winter brings ice-fishing, sledding and skating in both outdoor and indoor ice rinks. New Ulm is famous for baseball at Johnson Park, but football, soccer, volleyball, and other sports, take place at the many city parks. Enjoy yourself year-round in New Ulm as a spectator or participant!

In New Ulm, we’ve been crafting fine brews and much, much more for more than a century. Settled by German immigrants four years before Minnesota became a state, today this community 90 miles southwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul offers something for everyone, from one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants to important historical sites, inviting bed and breakfasts and a steady stream of live music and lively conversation. Most importantly, it’s still a place where friends old and new are greeted with a warm welcome.

We often smile as we hear from visitors how surprised they are at what a unique and attractive town we are, but they also marvel at how much there is to do. Click here to view a video on New Ulm.
