The Kalk Tower was built in the last quarter of the 14th century as a guard tower and offers a beautiful view on the old town today. With a bit of diligence in the field you can use the tower’s arch to frame the city in your image.

Photography Tips

To be able to get a sharp representation of the arch as well as the middle ground and the city in the background, you will have to use focus-stacking.
Shooting at 102mm with an aperture of f/8 I had to work with 4 exposures, focusing at the near and far part of the arch, on the middle ground and on the city itself.

Travel Information

There are five main parking areas (P1-P5) around the city walls, providing space for roughly 1,000 vehicles and quick access to the old town. In my opinion the fee of € 5,50 for a day ticket is quite reasonable.
