In terms of tourism, the city offers many interesting places. The dominant feature of the town is the local castle with its beautiful garden. Another tourist place is the Shepherd's Wall, which also has a zoo and a sightseeing place with a restaurant. In addition, there is a via ferrata on the Shepherd's Wall, which is unique because it can be found almost in the centre of the town.
