This is the Munster at Ulm. The biggest church of its style.
They built it in hopes of getting a bishop so it would be a cathedral.
Didn't happen. But they have a great organ. And We got a serious heavy metal serenade
on the way up one time.
Great stair master work out to get within 60 feet of the top.

The old church and the replacement.


Inside with organ for scale




The original heavy metal


It is so tall you can see the curvature of the earth! (I know. it is lens distortion.)


Stone work for the spire.

2. And off to the Greatest Page, for your magnificent photos, my dear Old Crank!

It would take a seriously fit person to climb to the top of the spire. It makes me short of breath just to look at it.

Thank you for these photos.

4. They warn you

before you go up. You have to pay a small fee. Then they have a sign that shows you how many steps to each of 3 levels. The top level is 768 steps. The last section is narrow. A wide person width so you get to squeeze by people going the other way. Those bells are loud if they go off when you are near them.
But the view...
