Sausage excursion to Swabia

Swabia is not only famous for its Spätzle (traditional Swabian dish) – the Rote Wurst (red sausage), or simply just Rote (red), is a speciality of this region. Its shape and consistency is similar to that of a Bockwurst, the colour comes from the reddish skin, and the pink sausage meat is made of pork and bacon. The Rote is a permanent fixture at food stalls all around the region, and there are particularly good ones on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Horlacher Bratwurstecke stall at the Neu-Ulm weekly market in Petrusplatz square (about a five-minute walk from the station).
