The stairs are architecturally impressive and at the beginning you have to pay attention to his feet. The park offers a beautiful view over the city park.

The “Reconciliation Staircase” consists of two opposing staircases that briefly merge, separate and come together again on each floor.

The stairs are an optical illusion
At the end of the 15th century, Maximilian I, son of Emperor Friedrich III, built a Gothic double spiral staircase, which is now a highlight of the castle. Two stairs running in opposite directions come together on each floor, only to separate again immediately afterwards. It is often interpreted as a symbol for eternity and was nicknamed the Reconciliation Staircase, as separate paths merge here again and again.
