The Monument to The Battle of The Nations (Völkerschlachtdenkmal)

Quite the title, huh? It matches the amount of stairs you have to climb to get to the top perfectly! There are over 500 if you climb from the bottom to the very tippy-top (which we did!). The structure is 300 feet tall. Plenty tall to set my terrified-of-heights heart thudding in my chest. Whew!




 These massive statues were lining the outside walls and it reminded me of the guards on the last Harry Potter that Mcgonagall brings to life to protect the school... 
 This was the first level after the first hundred or so stairs. It's a circular shaped room with a huge dome roof. They had choral music playing over the speakers and, let me tell ya, the acoustics in that place are AH-mazing!! (do you see what I did there? ha!)
 Getting closer to the very top. The view is starting to get pretty impressive...and my legs are killing me...


The view from the very top. We made it!
Be sure to check out this video to see some life action panoramas of the different levels we were on...
Love you guys! Thanks for being interested in my life :)
