Very beautiful old town with many winding alleys. The half-timbered houses are also not neglected. Unfortunately, like in many other cities, clearance sales are taking place here too. Many former shops in the old town are already closed.

The tower belongs to the former city fortifications of the town of Bad Bergzabern. During sieges, the city wall was mostly bombarded with stone balls. A 20 kg stone ball can be seen at the "Dicken Turm". It was built in the late 13th century and extended in the 16th century. Unfortunately, an interior visit was not possible. But even from the outside, the building looks quite imposing.
