All trips come to an end, but our Stuttgart trip wasn't complete without stopping in Ulm on our way home. The city was founded around 850 and nowadays is an economic centre due to a diversity of industries and the important University of Ulm.
Ulm is the birth city of Albert Einstein, and is famous for having a church with the highest tower in the world approximately 161 meters high! It was the tallest building in the world from 1890-1901!
First a look inside the Gothic Cathedral
Jordan talked me into climbing to the top:
Not that high, and people are setting up for the Christmas markets:
We got up most of the way, the tippy top stairs were blocked off because of ice
Beautiful city
Jordan managed to climb up a little higher than I did, I was a bit scared...
After testing my fear of highs we walked around the town, pretty quiet for a Sunday, but livelier than Bavaria.
I loved the vines
...and we headed home! That sums up our great weekend. Can't wait for the next adventure, coming up over Thanksgiving!
