What to expect
The Reichenturm is a medieval tower located in Bautzen, a town in eastern Saxony, Germany. It is part of the town's former city fortifications and offers a panoramic view of the old town. The tower is also known as the 'leaning tower' because it leans 1.44 meters off plumb to one side. Bautzen is a historic town with a rich cultural heritage, featuring many towers, gates, and bastions, as well as hundreds of cultural monuments from different centuries. The town is situated on the Spree river and is considered the historical capital of the Upper Lusatia region. Visitors can explore the old town on foot, taking in the sights and sounds of the historic buildings, including the baroque town hall, the Cathedral of St. Peter, and the Ortenburg castle. The town also offers a unique blend of German and Sorbian cultures, with many bilingual signs and a strong sense of community

On the way in the city of Bautzen and in the Upper Lusatian Heath and Pond Landscape Biosphere Reserve
Activities: We climbed the Reichenturm, also known as the Schiefe Turm (Leaning Tower) of Bautzen. This tower was once part of the Bautzen city fortress and leans 1.41 meters to the northwest
Highlights: The children enjoyed climbing the tower. It gave a great view of Bautzen. We saw how much more the family liked this over other activities. "On some of them you can also climb, such as on the Reichenturm." ✨
