Ulm Munster

The Ulmer Münster is the second largest example of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture in Germany - taking second place only to Cologne cathedral. It has dominated the city and the region for hundreds of years and its name is, without doubt, a synonym for the city itself, at home and abroad. It has its spire, above all, to thank for this. With its 161 metres, it is the highest spire in the world. Those who climb its 768 steps (to 143 m.) are rewarded with a superb panoramic view of Baden-Württemberg's Ulm and Bayern's Neu-Ulm and, in the right weather conditions, a vista of the Alpine range from Säntis to the Zugspitze.

The Ulm Münster is open daily to the public
