Let's take a walk on the old city wall of Luzern.

Another highlight of Luzern is walking on the old city wall. From the wall, you can see beautiful views of Lake Luzern and the buildings. You can imagine walking on a well-preserved ancient city wall. There are nine towers along the wall, three of which you can climb: Schirmerturm, Wachtturm, and Mannliturm. The Wachtturm tower houses the oldest clock in the city, built by Hans Luter in 1535. To honor this special clock, it chimes one minute before all other clocks in the city. The narrow path up the tower offers a view of the clock and its well-functioning mechanism.
