Luckily there aren't that many steps and they aren't that steep either, so that you can easily manage it. It's worth it too; The castle, the church and great views await at the top.

The staircase at the Geleitshaus is the shortest and also a particularly interesting ascent to the viewing terrace at the palace park and to Neu-Augustusburg Palace. It connects two of the most important historic buildings in the city. At the top there is a wonderful view of the roofs and towers of the old town.
