Why Schlossberg and Clock Tower matters
The Schlossberg rises right above the old town, with a clock tower whose hands are famously reversed: the big hand tells the hours and the small hand the minutes. Walk, ride a funicular or take a lift to the top for a city panorama.
Talking points
- The clock hands are reversed.
- A lift runs through the hill.
- The view covers the red-roofed old town.
