Guided Story
Feel that breeze on your face? That's the whisper of the Danube telling you a tale. Look up, the Gänsturm rises 37 meters into the sky. Built in 1360, it once served as a city gate where geese were herded to the pastures. If you listen closely, you might almost hear the chatter of those bygone days. Turn around and you'll see the Gänstor Bridge to the east, connecting past and present. Take a moment to soak in the view, especially when the evening sun bathes the city in a golden glow. It's a perfect spot to immerse yourself in history.
