Ulmer Münster

It was fun climbing up the stairs..!!! One should give it a try atleast once..!!!

It is almost 20 years since I’ve been here but I can remember my visit as if it were yesterday. Why? We climbed the tower and I can honestly say it was a pretty scary experience. It’s a long, long climb, and the views from the top are as stunning as you would expect; but the climb itself was not at all comfortable because the staircases were open to the elements and you felt as though you were climbing an old pile of masonry with not much to stop you falling off. Maybe they’ve changed that since, but I never realised I suffered from very slight vertigo until I went to Ulm. It’s not at all a problem, thank you for asking, but be warned: the tower is not for the faint-hearted. Or at least it wasn’t 20 years ago.

Ulm Munster is one of the most beautiful places I have seen, to stand in the main square in Ulm and look up at the shear scale of this magnificent piece of architecture is awe inspiring in its self and as you ascend the steep and very narrow steps to get to the top is yet another marvel, but the real prize is when you reach the top, What a view, where else can you see the Alps, the Danube and the house where Einstein was born. But be aware this accent is not for the faint at heart, but the reward is well worth it.
