Guided Story

Look up, and you'll see the top of the Reichenbacher Tower, a proud remnant of Görlitz's old city fortifications. Imagine in medieval times, guards would watch from up there, safeguarding the city. Now, glance to your left, and you'll spot the Kaisertrutz, which was once a bastion and now stands as a museum. Turn to your right, and you’ll notice the Dicke Turm, another part of this defensive network. The best time to take in this view is at sunset, when the rooftops glow with a warm, golden hue. It's a moment that transports you back in time, to when the tower was the beating heart of the city.
