    This part of the city wall can be climbed via a spiral staircase behind the Statt Museum.

      Access is a bit hidden, you have to go behind the museum, from there a spiral staircase leads up to the city wall.

        The Owl Tower (25m high x 5m wide) is the only tower that has been preserved in its original form.
        The access to the city wall or to the Owl Tower is behind the Carnival and Stattmuseum at Obergasse 5.
