With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that New Ulm, 19 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Flandrau State Park, Wanda Gag House and John Lind House. Don’t skip Mankato either! Just 25 miles away, Sibley Park, Mount Kato Ski Area and Betsy & Tacy’s House Tours & Gift Shop are must-sees here.
