Ulm 48-hour rampage record, tortured to tears by church stairs

I was paralyzed on the 768 steps of Ulm Cathedral, but I was healed after turning the corner. This hometown of Einstein really makes people love and hate it! Part 1 6am Critical Hit: Complete Guide to Reaching the Summit When the navigation located Münsterplatz, I almost cursed. How come the world's tallest church spire (161.5 meters high!) was so black that it looked like a giant Gothic lightning rod? But when the morning light broke through the clouds and illuminated the carved columns, I understood the madness of the medieval craftsmen. ️Blood and tears experience: ️Tickets to the summit are now 5€ (free in the church), doors open at 8:30 but tickets are not sold until 9! Don't learn from me and wait for half an hour ️The stairs are 2 times steeper than expected! So narrow that you have to kiss the pedestrians on the cheek. ️After reaching the top, the locker will charge 1€ coins, which is not refundable. It is recommended to bring coins. ️Put your phone in the gap of the observation deck iron net to take more photos (be careful if you have trembling hands) Unexpected gain: I met a local photographer at the 47-meter observation deck. He taught me how to find the coordinates of the birthplace of Einstein (the original location has been destroyed and is now a McDonald's...) Part 2 Old Town Treasure Hunt Map Avoid the main street crowded with tourists, Fisherviertel is a real fairy tale world! Schiefes Haus is a 45-degree inclined café (hot chocolate 4.5€). You have to grab a seat by the window on the second floor. It is so relaxing to watch the ripples of the canal dancing on the wooden beams. Private store: ️Lederwaren Gassner: Family leather goods store, custom notebook covers starting at 35€ ️Ulmer Zinn: Tin workshop experience (make an appointment by email in advance) ️The astronomical clock on the outer wall of the City Hall has a mechanical man appearing at 11:45 every day Part 3 The Secret B-Side of the Danube River The navigation located Donaubastion, and when crossing the bridge, I suddenly saw the real color card of the "Blue Danube"! The modern art museum on the Austrian coast (free on Wednesdays) has a great view from the terrace, but remember to bring your passport (you have to go through border control!) Mine warning: The pork elbows at the internet-famous restaurant Zunfthaus are super salty! Locals buy Brezen bread at the Marktplatz morning market for 3€/piece, which goes really well with white sausages. Traffic Easter Eggs: The luggage lockers at the central station require 5€ coins! If you don't have any, go to the nearby REWE supermarket to change some change and buy a 1.5€ twist biscuit. Summary of 2-day runaway: ️Wear air cushion shoes! 90% of the scenic spots are within a 1km diameter but the stone slabs are inaccessible. ️ Reserve half a day for rest after reaching the top of the church (don’t ask me how I know) ️There is a market on Thursdays and Saturdays, freshly squeezed apple juice is 2€, which is cheaper than mineral water Standing in front of the Einstein Fountain, I suddenly realized: Perhaps the inspiration for his theory of relativity came from the dizzy feeling of time and space interweaving when looking up at the church? This small town, which can only be understood by walking, is definitely worth adding to your list of Germany's niche places!
