Silvester auf dem Munot

Guests enter the fortress through the casemate, which is illuminated into a mystical glow by thousands of candles. Up on the battlements, attendees can enjoy mulled wine or bouillon offered in a calm setting away from the city commotion. The gathering listens together as the city's church bells ring out the old year and welcome in the new.
