Description & Facts: Ulm is a town at the edge to Bavaria in Baden-W?¦rttemberg, south west Germany. It is home to the highest church steeple in the world (161.53m), even higher than the Dome of Cologne. Ulm has 120,000 inhabitants. Albert Einstein was born here. Ulm has a lot of dense fog in some times of the year. Especially in late autumn and early spring. Sometimes you can see only 30-50 m far (90-150 ft). The illuminated church looks impressive when it disappears in the fog. The town center is small enough to walk around, but there are lots of buses and even sightseeing boats on the Danube (Donau) River. See: Cathedral: Construction on the Ulmer M?¦nster began in the 14th century, but the current version was only fully completed in 1890. The interior of the M?¦nster contains gorgeous choir stalls by J??rg Syrlin (1469???1474) from the 15th century. The top of the steeple can be reached by climbing 768 steps and offers an amazing view of Ulm and the region (4??? for adults). On clear days, it is possible to see the Alps.
