Its walls are 6.5m wide, making it the strongest fortification tower in Europe. Definitely worth a visit to the museum with the armor and co and the view from the roof 😊

In addition to the Breiten Tor, one of Goslar's city gates, it is the thick kennel, which already makes a special attraction when driving past the ramparts.
To protect the Rammelsberg and to cover the eastern flank of the city wall up to the wide gate, it was built as one of the strongest structures in Europe. In the siege case, up to 1,000 men could be accommodated on the four floors. Its diameter measures a stately 26 meters, with the wall thickness alone over 6 meters.

In the Zwinger there is a museum next to some holiday apartments. Tip: Here the younger visitors can be knighted in a small ceremony (including disguise).
