Teave

Kiired faktid: 40 meetrit Egeri siluetisse tõusev Ottomani-aegne minarett omab 97 keerdtrepi astet, mis ronides kitsenevad. Külastajad, kes jõuavad tippu, saavad tasuks laiaulatusliku panoraami linna barokkkatustest ja ümbritsevatest Büki mägedest.

Esiletõstmised: Päris tipus ümbritseb rõdu nii peenikest torni, et kaks inimest saavad vaevu teineteisest mööduda, ometi on see seisnud maavärinakindlana alates 1596. aastast. Algne puidust trepp asendati rauaga 1700. aastatel ja kohalikud räägivad, et torn kaldub veidi loodesse, veidrus, mida märkavad ainult teravama pilguga külastajad.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Count the steps as you climb: locals swear there are exactly 97, but the narrow spiral tricks your legs into feeling like more.
Wear closed-toe shoes with grip; the stone steps are worn smooth and some have no railing on one side.
Visit on a weekday before 10 a.m. to have the balcony almost to yourself for photos.
Skip the climb if you have claustrophobia or knee problems, the staircase gets tight and steep near the top.
