    Hiking

    The Saltorturm is next to a short piece of the wall in the Krottental the only preserved relic of the former medieval city wall.
    It is a typical Franconian, three-storey gate tower from the 14./16. Century with arched passage and flat pyramid roof. The tower stood after the fortification within the wall and was without gate function.

    The Saltorturm north of the Bishop's Castle is the last remnant of the medieval city fortifications of the 14th century.
