Ulmer Münster, Ulm

A very impressive, although not extremely ornate Münster ( Word for Protestant cathedral I think). The daily Organ performance is enjoyable and reasonably priced ( use the tower entrance , not the gift shop) about 20 minutes before. But the real thrill here is the climb to the top! There is a ticket kiosk and turnstile. Once you begin a level, you cannot go back. ( There are three main levels to explore). The wind and view is astounding as this is likely one of the tallest structures in the region. The sheer drops to the plaza below can be unsettling..never mind the 760 plus steps to the top. It costs only 5€ per adult. The last section is a shared spiral staircase..so tight and congested if busy.. allow about and hour and a half to do it all. Restrooms are out near the plaza for .50€ cent. The history here must be quite interesting, as it began as a Catholic cathedral, but ended up commissioned as a Lutheran Münster. One can only imagine the newspaper editorials on that topic!

Mind the stairs! Literally - there's like 700 of them and you can't really turn back once you commit. That said, it should be achievable unless you are really out of shape or have bad knees. The view is absolutely stunning though, so I would strongly recommend checking it out if you are in the area.
