Guided Story
Imagine yourself as a traveler from the Middle Ages. The air is filled with the sound of blacksmiths hammering away in the town below. Look up and you’ll see the Dicker Turm, a mighty fortress that watches over the city. Guards once stood here, keeping an eye out for any approaching invaders. Picture a merchant bringing his goods safely into town, under the watchful gaze of the castle's lords. Turn around now and imagine how people lived, worked, and defended this place. The castle was more than just a fortress; it was the heart of the city and a symbol of its resilience.
