The third day of our stay in Bochum

On the 27 th of October the Polish group went to Köln. We arrived at Erich - Kästner Schule with our German partners at 8:30 in the morning. Then we got on a direct train to Köln and about an hour later we were in the city.

We visited the church of Saint Ursula and the cathedral in Köln. We got to know that Saint Ursula is the patron of Köln. She is also a patron of our school as it is run by the Ursuline Sisters, so the church was exceptional for us.

The cathedral, in turn, is the heart of Köln. It was built between 1248 and 1880 and it is in a Gothic style. The cathedral is very imposing - it is 157 meters high. The area of the building is about 6480 m². When we went inside we were really delighted! The size of the cathedral is exceptionally large, so we felt very small. When we went out of the cathedral we visited the city.

In the afternoon we went to the Museum of Chocolate. It was very sweet inside. Each of us could taste the chocolate from the chocolate fountain. It was delicious! A very sweet end of the sightseeing!

We went by train to the Bochum Station, where our German partners waited for us. It was a wonderful day! We think that Köln is worth visiting, because it has got wonderful cultural monuments like the cathedral or the church of Saint Ursula. When we were visiting the city, we were really fascinated.
