Kölner Dom


Considered to be the perfect expression of Gothic architecture, the Dom is at the city center of Cologne. When you get off the train in its shadow, its hard not to be impressed by its magnificent size! I knew immediately that I was going to have to climb to the top of the cathedral tower.
Before the Eiffel Tower came along, this dwarfed all buildings in Europe. The 522 steps totally kicked my ass, but the sense of accomplishment I felt when I reached the top was worth it, and the view of the Rhine and the T-Mobile tower were pluses too.
