The wooded hill that rises in the middle of Graz was a fortress that was never taken; Napoleon had it demolished and only the clock tower, the Uhrturm, and the bell tower were saved. Today it is a park with viewpoints over the red roofs of the old town. You go up on foot by the stairs from the Schlossbergplatz, in the lift carved into the rock or on the Schlossbergbahn, a funicular with a glass roof and a 60% gradient that is covered by the zone 1 tram ticket and leaves every 15 minutes. It runs Sunday to Thursday from 9:00 to midnight and Fridays and Saturdays until 2:00; from October to March, from 10:00.
