Ulm
Higher than everyone else
It rises like a gigantic Gothic cathedral (although strictly speaking it is a cathedral and not a cathedral). For this reason alone, the Ulm Cathedral is extremely impressive. But beyond that, it is enthroned as the tallest in the world with its church tower, which rises a proud 161 meters into the air!
For those who make the effort to climb the 102m to the second platform of the tower (top of the tower is currently not accessible), breathtaking views open up again and again along the way. Between the filigree Gothic windows and the gargoyles, there are magnificent panoramas of the city and the surrounding area. On clear days, the view even extends as far as the Alps. Personally, I think it's definitely worth the effort!
The people of Ulm began building their civic church in 1377, financed solely by themselves. After a temporary standstill in construction, the spire was added to the cathedral in 1890. And if you look in the direction of the roof ridge, you can see a copper Ulm sparrow at the top, the small unofficial landmark of the Danube city ...
