Located right underneath the Clocktower (Uhrturm), the Uhrturmkasematte is a small cave and a very impressive venue. The floor is dirty and rocky and the walls remind you of a medieval prison. The entrance can be through the elevator inside of the mountain, which has an extra stop at the Uhrturmkasematte, or through steps down right next to the clocktower.

The mighty Stallbastei (stable bastion), also called Kanonenbastei (cannon bastion), is an impressive landmark of the Schloßberg with solid, twenty meters high supporting walls. Already in its very early days the former fortress was used as a prison. At the time of the Counter-Reformation, the dungeons were full of evangelical preachers, believers and sympathizers. Until the time of Maria Theresa no common criminals, but only political and military prisoners, or aristocrats who had committed a crime were incarcerated on the Schloßberg. There, they had to serve their sentences for adultery, duell, murder, blasphemy, lèse majesté, and many for high treason.

This café in the heart of the Stadtpark is the meeting point for young people: artists, students, young mothers and dog owners, here they all come together to spend summer evenings listening to hip, non-commercial music.
