Reutlingen's World's Narrowest Street: A Must-See Attraction

Reutlingen, a city in Baden-Württemberg, is home to a unique attraction: the world's narrowest street. Spreuerhofstraße, officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records, emerged after a city fire in 1726 and has since become a popular spot for visitors.

The street, at its narrowest point, measures a mere 31 centimeters. Despite its narrow width, it has survived threats of disappearance due to a dilapidated neighboring house. In 2013, the city secured its future, ensuring it remains a part of Reutlingen's history.

Visitors can test their own width using the 'Narrowest Street-O-Meter'. However, the official record sign has been stolen over 20 times, leading to its secure fastening. Reutlingen offers more than just this narrow street. Guided tours showcase the city's history, while the Achalm mountain provides scenic views. The medieval city wall adds to the charm of this historic location.

Reutlingen's Spreuerhofstraße, the narrowest street in the world, is a fascinating attraction that has withstood the test of time. Despite its narrow width, it continues to draw visitors who can test their size and appreciate the city's rich history.
