Hiking

The name is derived from the slate roofing - northeastern corner of the local fortifications (1513), later a floor was added - the tower was also used for the penal system of the sovereign jurisdiction.

The tower got its name because of its blue slate roof.
Once it had an underground dungeon.

Part of the city wall of Sommerhausen. Located a stone's throw from the theater 😉. As beautiful as the "balcony" up there is. You might want to read up on what it was used for in the past.
