crunchtastic Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Holy Crapski! This is a little vertiginous but mighty cool: http://gawker.com/5992398/the-unbelievable-photos-taken-by-the-crazy-russians-who-illegally-climbed-egypts-great-pyramid/1301120165 also, Cologne cathedral really is magnigficent. A good day trip from Amsterdam if you're just passing thru. One of those places I wouldn't have thought to go at first but glad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I love their galleries. I Saw there Moscow one on ebaumsworld. I'm not terrified of heights, just terrified of edges with no railing, yikes! I'll be in Cologne this February, I'll be sure to snap some pictures. Probably not as as good or cool as these. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got of the train there just for a beer, but was amazed at the Cathedral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Cologne is fantastic. The towers are a touch out of scale with the original Medieval cathedral, but still one of my favorite buildings in the world. Ulm Cathedral is equally spectacular, and far less peopled. For those who are adventurous you can walk to the top of the Ulm spire (the highest such spire in the world - currently. It is 530 feet to the tip. You can walk to the top of the platform/roof which is 469 feet up (quite impressive). The view up there is really amazing. And since Ulm is quite a bit smaller than Cologne it affords a more complete view of the town proper, and on clear days you can see the Bavarian Alps to the south, as Ulm is in northern Baveria. My avatar is the Ulm Cathedral as viewed from the Muenster Platz. While not my photo, I took one exactly like that except the clouds aren't as impressive.
