The fortress is open all year round. Since 1892, it is easily accessible not only on foot, but also with the fortress railway from the Festungsgasse. A special highlight of the fortress is the medieval Fürstenzimmern and the fortress museum with historical exhibits from the prince archbishop's court life.
