A Stairway to Nowhere, Heaven, or Who Knows Where

Munich is a city filled with a number of weird and wonderful things. In fact, it is considered one of the most vibrant and unique locations in the world. If you are an art enthusiast, you will be sure to love this particular attraction. In the heart of the city, you will find the Umschreibung, which is essentially a sculpture featuring a spiral staircase. However, unlike most staircases, this sculpture leads up into the sky before spiraling back down again. In other words, it leads nowhere. The staircase was designed to challenge traditional ideas of growth and progress.

While most people consider progress to be linear, it actually includes a number of highs and lows, such as this staircase. There is no denying the fact that this is a unique and thought-provoking attraction.
