From Amsterdam we headed back into Germany and stopped here in Köln to see the largest cathedral in Germany. This place is huge!
During WWI this cathedral was bombed 15 times but remained standing. In anticipation of the war the stain glass windows and art treasures were taken to shelters and saved.
The floor of the Cathedral ... Miles and I didn't dare walk on it but everyone else was walking all over it. Seriously? I felt like I was doing something wrong.
The shrine of the Magi - the bones of the Three King (or the 3 Wise Men who brought gifts to the Christ child).
There is enough stain glass in here to fill 3 football fields - it's beautiful!
Yes, we climbed the tower.
6 Euro for the entire family with 509 steps to climb
