Hiking

The Swedish Tower is a semi-circular defensive tower built into the wall fortifications and open to the city side. The upper floor is cantilevered over the roofs of the battlement to provide enough space for weapons, ammunition and the riflemen. Today, the tower can be climbed up to the upper floor via a new staircase.
