Exploring the catacombs of Rosenberg Fortress by bicycle is a truly unique experience. From the parking lot behind the fortress, a gate opens at the touch of a button, granting access to the casemate of the St. Sebastian Bastion, now commonly known as the Philipp Bastion. Since December 2020, a tunnel lined with numerous stone artifacts has led from the parking lot behind the fortress, through the so-called "Sphere Garden," into the heart of the fortress. Although there is a bicycle parking area at the end of the tunnel, dismounting and pushing your bike is necessary for this short stretch.
