The Putinnen are two towers of the medieval city wall in Tangermünde. From here a staircase leads down to the harbor. The origin of the name is unclear. One possible explanation would be the derivation of "Butentinnen", i.e. external battlements as part of the defenses of the city wall.

Here the hike leads towards the banks of the Elbe; you have to go down the steps through the crossing.
