January 22, 2024,Münster (Westf.) : Schloss, Kirchen, leuchtende Himmelsleiter, Märkte, Arcaden; Runde vom Bhf
Small get-to-know-you session in Münster, thanks for further training. We quickly spent the blue (unfortunately rainy) hour until sunset in the charming city center. Nice idea and a great location - the ladder to heaven on the tower of St. Lamberti can probably be seen as an art installation until the end of March 24th.

The other highlights: Cathedral, Überwasserkirche, the Aa, the Foucault'sche pendulum, Ludgerikirche with the ladder to heaven and finally …

Of course, the cathedral, the Ladder to Heaven, the arcades, a visit to the Picasso Museum, and a stroll through the old town are also part of the …

On this foggy, cold winter Sunday, Münster seemed unusually quiet. All the shops were closed, but every few minutes the bells of one of the numerous churches rang. On Saturdays and on warm summer evenings, things are of course very different here. I have very fond memories of my time doing community service in Münster, and I count it as …
