Timeline

  1. 12:00

    Suppdiwupp

    Start with a warm bowl of soup and fresh bread at Suppdiwupp. It is a small, traditional spot perfect for a quiet lunch before the afternoon crowds arrive. Note that on Fridays they close early at 16:00, so this plan works best Monday through Thursday or on weekends.

  2. 12:45

    St Lawrence Church

    Walk 14 minutes west to St Lawrence Church. The 15th-century building is dominated by the 18m tall Tabernacle. It is a focal point of the south-side old town and offers a moment of stillness amidst the historic architecture.

  3. 13:15

    Ship of fools

    Continue 14 minutes to the Ship of Fools sculpture. This dry fountain features a sculpture based on the satire by Sebastian Brant. It is a short walk from the church and provides a quiet end to the route.

Local tip

Suppdiwupp closes at 16:00 on Fridays. If you visit on a Friday, ensure you finish your lunch before then. The walk between the church and the Ship of Fools is short and easy.
