Look at the small exhibition at the base, then take the winding stairs up, one route for going up and one for coming down. Pause at the covered terrace partway before the final climb to the open gallery. Up top, pick out the castle, the spires of the Old Town and the bends of the river. Afterwards, stroll past the mirror maze and through the rose garden on the hilltop.
