Hiking
A Lughaus/defense tower is a historical fortification, which was built primarily for defense. Defensive towers served to protect cities, settlements and castles and offered a significant defensive advantage due to their elevation above the surrounding terrain. Defense towers close off with an open or covered defense platform to enable the use of long-range weapons of all kinds. Standalone Lughouses were very rare as they were much more efficient when built into a wall. Nevertheless, there were portholes to protect important junctions or bridges, although in this case they also served the function of a watchtower.
