I’m from Indonesia 2 days ago I visited here ,,, No Ticket entry ( gratis ) This place was Amazing,,, Historically They have 9 towers which you can visit and walk to the summit, the view from the tower is super beautiful and touches history from the past.
The Musegg Wall and the nine Musegg Towers formed part of the town’s fortifications and today, visitors and locals can walk along many sections of the ramparts. The old natural stone walls provide a valuable and truly special habitat for endangered plants and animals, including jackdaws, common swifts and bats. There is also a Musegg Wall newspaper and guided tours are available.
Directly behind the wall lies the Hinter Musegg Farm – a chance to experience farm life in the heart of the city, with a farm shop, eatery and animals. The farm is organic and open stable doors offer visitors a glimpse into species-appropriate husbandry. Children and families can see alpacas, Highland cattle, mini pigs, hens and goats, while also getting a chance to work on the farm. This offer is available to school groups as well. Those wishing to find out more about the animals living here can follow the educational trail and solve a quiz to discover fascinating facts.

Safety rails have been added along the wall, but the top is sloped slightly for water shedding purposes and can be disconcerting for those anxious about heights.
All that said, if you want to see the way defensive walls were built in the middle ages....you must see these works. Be sure to leave a few francs as a donation in the box gatehouse near...
Read moreMusegg Wall is close to the train station and you can reach there by walking through the Old town. It took us around 20 mins for a relaxed walk.
There is no entry fee and you can go up the wall through one of the open towers. We went up through Schirmerturm and walked along the outer perimeter of the wall.
The wall provides a high view of the Old town below and good views of the snow covered mountains. Other than the historic significance of this long stretched out wall there are not many historic details available to see or understand.
We came down through the Zytturm which is a clock tower where you can see the internal workings of the clock which is...
