Rundetaarn - a photo on Flickriver

Rundetaarn

An ex observatory tower, built in the mid 17th Century, contains no stairs, but a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the platform at the top (at 34.8 meters above ground).

Apparently, Peter the Great ascended to the top of this tower on horseback in 1716.

Every year in spring, a unicycle race is held in the Round Tower. The contestants have to go up and down the tower. The world record, set in 1988, is 1 minute and 48.7 seconds.
