    A very impressive structure. For €8, you can climb up to the top of the Hercules and enjoy a fantastic view.

    Hiking

    The Herkulesbauhütte is an important historic monument of a large construction site.
    The basic idea of the repair and reconstruction work on this historical witness is to present the ongoing work on the Herculean structure, the extensive time and effort of the last approximately 300 years up to the present, in an understandable and vivid way through an exhibition. A model of the head of the Hercules statue is also worth seeing.

    The Hercules is almost 9 meters high and is made of copper.
