Rreth
Fakte të shpejta: One of the last surviving medieval town gates in Austria, it guarded the entrance to Hainburg with a portcullis and drawbridge that still function today. The gate takes its name from the Fischer (fishermen) district, whose residents maintained the nearby Danube fishing rights for centuries.
Pikat kryesore: Climb the 96 winding stone steps to the top of the tower and you can spot the exact spot where the Danube once lapped against the city walls. The original wooden portcullis, still hanging overhead, is the same one that defenders would have dropped in times of attack over 700 years ago.
Këshilla të brendshme
- Run your hand along the deep stone grooves at the gate's base where wagon wheels scraped for centuries.
- Bring a flashlight to spot the 14th-century graffiti scratched into the upper chamber walls.
- The caretaker lives next door and can open the tower if you arrive during posted hours and ring the bell.
- Combine your visit with a walk along the restored city wall just 50 meters east for another perspective.
