Hiking

Built at the end of the 13th century, the tower secured the northeast corner of the medieval town fortification of Wissembourg. At the Powder Tower, a hiking trail leads to the ramparts and to the west to the former Pfister Gate in the west of the old town.

Hiking

At the end of the rue de la Laine, you will come across the fortification of the city, which dates back to 1746.

On the broad walls cannons could be accommodated. On the right is the Powder Tower, which belonged to the first city wall.
