Hiking
The Museggmauer is the longest preserved section of city wall in Switzerland. It is 870 m long, approx. 9 m high and 1.5 m wide. Today, 9 out of 30 towers are still preserved: Nölliturm, Männliturm, Luegisland, Wachtturm, Zytturm, Schirmerturm, Pulverturm, Allenwindenturm and Dächliturm. This saying helps to remember the towers:
„Nölli, Männli, Lueg is Land, Bewach mer d'Zyt, Bescherm mer s'Polver ond em Allewende s'Dächli."
„Nölli, Männli, Lueg is Land, Bewach mer d'Zyt, Bescherm mer s'Polver ond em Allewende s'Dächli."
