let X =Hawaiian $X$=Hawaiian earring, consider CX$CX$ be the cone with base X. Now take two coiescopies of this space named as CZ$CZ$ and CY$CY$ and z$z$ be the point where all circles of Z$Z$ are tangent similarly for y$y$.Now Now consider K= CZ V CY$K= CZ \wedge CY$ (wedge sum of two spaces identifying the point z$z$ with y$y$). Now K$K$ is connected and observe that both CZ$CZ$ and CY$CY$ are contractable, but the fundamental group of K$\pi_1(K)$ is not trivial.(a For example, a closed path oscillating back to forth from Y$Y$ to Z$Z$ around the decreasing circles is not null homotopic. You can get theA good reference form the paper- "THE COMBINATORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE HAWAIIAN EARRING GROUP" - bY Jfor this is J.W.CANNON &Cannon and G.R.CONNER ) Conner's paper- "The combinational structure of the hawaiian earing group."
So now if you considerConsider the inclusion map from CZ$CZ$ or CY$CY$ to K then for give$K$. For any covering space $\tilde{K}$ of K you can$K$, there exists a lift CZ$CZ$ or CY (by$CY$ to $\tilde{K}$ by map lifting theorem). so itIt follows that any connected covering space of K$K$ is homemorphichomeomorphic to K. so K$K$, and so $K$ is its own universal cover. and fundamental of KHowever, as mentioned above $\pi_1(K)$ is not trivial.
