"cologne" a Cologne Travel Page by lostaussie

cologne is a city that seems to rub off on you almost immediately. it is a lively and fun kind of place. most of my visits there have been without my camera so you will only find dome photos here (for now).
Climb the spire of the Cathedral in Cologne. Count the stairs and let me know. I was told it was 502 stairs, the sign says 509 and I lost count.
It is historically significant in the fact that, although most of Cologne was destroyed in WW11, the Cathedral escaped destruction.
heres a photo from the top of the spire.

and again

and now from the inside
