Guided Story

Look up and imagine all the steps it takes to reach the top of what was once the tallest church tower in the world, until 2025! As you climb the 768 steps, remember that Ulrich Ensingen, the architect from the 14th century, crafted this Gothic wonder. Up here on the platform, to your left is the bustling Münsterplatz, the vibrant heart of the city. If you gaze westward, you can spot the Lion Fountain, a keeper of many past secrets. On a clear day, the Swabian Alps stretch across the horizon. Pro tip: catch the sunset from here, and watch as it bathes the city in a magical glow.
