The charming "herb witch" Ursula Engelwurz offers fascinating insights into the world of medicinal herbs, elixirs and tinctures in the historic Kassel Tower. In the picturesque ambience of the former defense tower, visitors can expect an informative and entertaining tour of Schongau's most original sight - including a magnificent view of the city. Admission is free, and the Kassel Tower is open from May to October, Friday to Sunday.

Hiking

The southeastern corner tower is still completely intact and directly connected to the city wall to be restored. He is not generally accessible.

A highlight of the city tour was the Kassel Tower, where the "herb woman" Uschi runs her medieval pharmacy. Opening times (even without a guided tour): Fri 1 pm-7pm, Sat + Sun 10 am-7pm.
