During my first summer in France, I asked a climbing friend of mine what climbing areas he recommended to go climbing in the summer and he told me about Ulm, a town in Germany.
I still remember how surprised I was at that time because the recommended climbing area was so local.
The climbing area I was told about was actually in Blautal, an area west of Ulm.
I have not been able to go climbing in Blautal yet, but I was very interested in the Ulm Cathedral (Ulmer Münste), which has the tallest cathedral spire in the world, in this small town of Ulm, and I wanted to visit there at least once.
It's been a long time since I was interested in the city of Ulm, but suddenly I got a chance to visit Ulm 😂.
I had planned to go climbing in Italy in the summer of 2022, but had to abandon my plans at the last minute due to bad weather.
So, all of a sudden, I decided to go to Ulm 🤣
Ulm Cathedral (Ulmer Münste)
Construction began in 1377, and the cathedral was dedicated in 1383. It is a Gothic-style cathedral. The height is 161.53m including the remarkable spire.
It looks smarter than I expected, not intimidating, which surprised me. But the interior of the church had a high ceiling, giving it a sense of spaciousness.
"Ulmer Münste is so similar to the Strasbourg Cathedral, French 🇫🇷 " I thought, and to my surprise, this Ulmer Münste was Ulrich Enzingen, one of the designers of the Strasbourg Cathedral, was the general director of the cathedral.
Incidentally, the spire of Strasbourg Cathedral is 142 meters high. Completed in 1439, the spire was the tallest structure in the world from 1647 to 1874.
After seeing Ulm Cathedral (Ulmer Münste), I strolled around the Fischerviertel, one of Ulm's most popular tourist attractions.
I walked along the Danube River past the Ulm Town Hall (Rathaus) and the Butcher's Tower (Metzgertrum). Schiefes Haus, one of Ulm's tourist attractions, was crowded with people waiting for their turn to be photographed 😆
