Here is the church, and here is the steeple... the very tall steeple!

This past Saturday I made my way to Ulm! It's claim to faim is that it is home to the tallest church in Europe (some websites say even the world). And for 2.50euro you can climb to the top! The only thing with climbing up 768 stairs, is that you have to climb back down! My calfs are still killing me! It was worth it though. What an amazing view!

Outside of the Ulm Münster.

First lookout.

Big big bells. Thankfully they didn't go off as I was standing beside them!

Second lookout.

Third lookout. Almost there!

The last stair case! And surprisingly the least closterphobic.

I so feel your pain!

Made it to the very top! Is it ever windy up there.

The Danube River that flows through Ulm. I live that-a-way. I even busted out he compass to make sure!

Inside the cathedral. Very impressive and yet not as over the top as Notre Dame. I think I like gothic architecture better. There's something more peacefull about it.

And last but not least, swans on the Danube. Like 30 of them! (and no Max, I didn't try to pet them)
