Hiking

The Red Tower, also known as the Thieves' Tower, was part of Weil der Städte's 15th century city wall and was located at the northeast corner of the former city fortifications. The tower, built in the 15th century, served as a prison at the time, particularly on the ground floor, which was used as a dungeon.
