The moat is freely accessible - as long as you find one of the well-hidden entrances. In the moat, which was up to 25 m wide, there were smaller fortress islands that offered additional protection when the Turks attacked

The moat is approx. 25 m wide and goes all the way around the city wall. Together they form the city's defense system. A walk through the moat is impressive, because only here you can see the height of the city wall.

It is impressive between the two walls. It seems as though it never ends. Sun and shade alternate frequently. Passages and old entrances can be discovered.
