The famous landmark of Ulm is the minster (Ulmer Münster), a mighty protestant cathedral. Built between 1377 and 1890 in a Gothic style, the ecclesia includes the highest church steeple of the world - 161,53 meters high. It needs about 20 minutes to climb up its 768 steps until the final viewpoint on 143 meters altitude. Although I pass the minster every day on my way to work, the last time I mastered the stairs was back in 1984. So it was more than about time to do it again - the vista up there is tremendous! (The planes on the church square after all were part of an exhibition on April 17th, 2011.)
