About this Stone
This quiet medieval tower was built as part of the city's fortifications, once protecting one of the main entrances into the old town. Its name derives from the German word Geier, meaning vulture, likely a reference to the birds that circled the cliffs nearby. Today it remains a peaceful spot overlooking the river, offering a moment of calm amid the busier tourist routes. The tower's long history and modest charm make it a worthwhile detour for those interested in medieval architecture and the quieter corners of the old town.
