From wikipedia:
Alb-Donau-Kreis is a
Landkreis (district) in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is bounded by (from the south and clockwise) the districts of Biberach, Reutlingen, Göppingen and Heidenheim, the two Bavarian districts Günzburg and Neu-Ulm, and the city of Ulm.
History
The history of the region is linked with the history of Ulm and the Swabian Alb.
The district of Alb-Donau was established in 1973 by merging the former districts of Ulm and Ehingen.
Geography
The city of Ulm is surrounded by the district. It is the administrative seat of the Alb-Donau district, although it is not part of the district.
The district is named after the Danube River (German Donau) and the Swabian Alb (Schwäbische Alb) mountains. The Danube enters the district in the southwest, runs through the southern parts of the district and leaves eastwards to Ulm. North of the Danube banks the hills of the Swabian Alb rise. The hill chain extends from southwest to northeast parallel to the course of the Danube River and is continued on either side of the district.
