Guided Story

Look up and notice those ancient battlements. They whisper tales of a time when this tower was a vigilant guardian of the city. Imagine the sentinels watching over from up there. To your left, the St. Gotthardt Church, another medieval marvel, stands tall. Turn around, and the Altstädtisches Rathaus offers a glimpse into local history. As you gaze west, you'll spot the Friedenswarte, especially beautiful as it catches the sunset glow. The best time to be here? When the sun paints the sky with unforgettable hues.
