A wooden, covered staircase, the Student Staircase, with over 100 steps, leads from the old town streets up to the Josef Haltrich Lyceum, a secondary school for the German minority on the Schulberg. The covered staircase was built in 1654 to provide students with a relatively dry route to class even in inclement weather.

Hiking

The school staircase with its 176 steps makes the ascent to the Schulberg easier for several hundred mountain students every day. Especially in winter, with ice and snow, you would hardly get up to the mountain school without the covered stairs.
