We have yesterday managed to climb all 768 steps of the world tallest church in Ulm, Germany.
Great vistas, beautiful building, highly recommended!
---------------------------------------
Ulm Minster, like Cologne Cathedral, was begun in the Gothic era and not completed until the 19th century. It is the tallest church in the world,[2] and the 4th tallest structure built before the 20th century, with a steeple measuring 161.5 metres (530 ft) and containing 768 steps. From the top level at 143 m (469 ft) there is a panoramic view of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg and Neu-Ulm in Bavaria and, in clear weather, a vista of the Alps from Säntis to the Zugspitze. The final stairwell to the top (known as the third Gallery) is a tall, spiraling staircase that has barely enough room for one person.
