Schnelle Fakten: Climb the narrow, uneven stone stairs and be ready for a workout of about 366 steps before a rooftop carillon of dozens of bells rewards visitors with music that drifts across the market square. Atop the tower the dizzying panorama of red-tiled roofs and winding canals makes the effort worth it, and sharp-eyed guests can still spot carved ledger marks and tiny loopholes that whisper of centuries of civic life.
Highlights: Climb the tower's 366 narrow stone steps and the payoff is immediate: a 47-bell carillon that pours a bright metallic chorus into the air, the lower notes rumbling so that the wooden beams and your chest seem to hum along. For centuries the same chamber doubled as the municipal treasury and archive, so you can still find a tiny locked room and rusted iron hooks where 14th-century clerks once stashed city charters and scratched their initials into the flagstones.
Insidertipps
- Wear comfortable shoes, the stairs are steep and uneven with over 300 steps.
- Time your climb to miss the hourly carillon if you prefer quieter views near the bells.
- Stand in the Markt square or on nearby Burg side streets for the best full-tower photos.
- Travel light, backpacks can be awkward on the narrow staircases and roof walkways.
