Review:
Originally constructed in 1386, the Museggmauer formed a part of the city’s rampart walls. Today, its four towers remain almost entirely intact. Hans Luter built the oldest of the clock towers, the Zyt, in 1535. It continues to chime every hour and one minute prior to the rest of the city’s clocks. Climbing up to the fortification, tourists get yet another outstanding view of the entire city and the surrounding mountains and lake. Guests can enter with no admission costs to climb up the towers, walk the Medieval walls, or sit and relax on a bench. Accessing the fortress does require climbing up a steep hill to reach the entrance.
