Steep Hill

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: With a gradient of 1 in 7 (about 14.5 degrees), this medieval thoroughfare connects the uphill cathedral quarter to the downhill city center. The street earned its name from the sheer physical effort required to climb it, and local tradition says a penny used to be paid to those who could run up carrying a sack of coal.

Istaknuto: Look for the tiny 12th-century Jewish houses tucked between the shops, their doorways set low to the ground and windows barely a meter tall. At the top, pause outside the 13th-century medieval guildhall where you can still see the original iron rings used to tether horses hundreds of years ago.

Insajderski savjeti

• Nosite ravne cipele s dobrim đonom, kaldrma iz 12. stoljeća uglačana je milijunima nogu i postaje opasno skliska kad je vlažna.
• Preskočite glavnu rutu i krenite paralelnom uličicom "Vicar's Court" za mirniji uspon s manje turista i boljim kutovima za fotografiranje katedrale.
• Zaustavite se na klupi na pola puta ispred antikvarijata za najbolji pogled na zavoj ulice koji se pruža i gore i dolje.
• Posjetite neposredno prije kiše, mokra kaldrma odražava ulične svjetiljke i izloge poput srednjovjekovnog zrcala.
