This post centres around the Cologne Cathedral, a gothic and German- catholic icon, it’s also the most visited landmark in Germany.
Everybody told us there was nothing in Cologne except a train out. While their old town is rather lame-o after Utrecht, the cathedral is eye-popping, and it’s right by the train station.
Started in1248, halted 200 yrs later, then picked up again according to the original plan in 1880, it’s spires reach 515 ft. It’s amazing how it and a few other churches survived the war.
Feeling lucky still, I went for doner kebap (think shawarma) a bratwurst, two of my fav street food snacks and best done in Berlin.
Cologne is still a long way from Berlin and I’m glad the wurst didn’t get me sick.
Otherwise, get outta Cologne.
