ZIMO.

With an umbrella, walk along the wet stone road to the slightly unconventional Basel Cathedral in Switzerland. This tall Gothic spire building is perhaps the most overlooked building in the Old Town of Basel. It is said that from the 11th century - and 1000 years ago, the Catholic Church broke ground and has been repeatedly rebuilt. The exterior of the church is red sandstone, which does not look magnificent, but the interior is beautiful. The famous writer Erasmus at the Renaissance was also in this church. I started climbing upwards when the countdown to the church's apex was 40 minutes. It was not easy to climb a church in Europe. The stairs were narrow and steep, making me breathless. However, the scenery after the apex has made this kind of "hard" worthwhile - the drizzle is still fascinating, the blue sky has been exposed in the distance, the whole Basel is in sight, the Rhine is at the foot, faint, You can also hear the drumming sound of the river parade.
