Hiking

The Lower Gate refers not only to the fortifications at this entrance to the Old Town, but also - as Dolní brána - to the 13-meter-long street that leads through the gate buildings. It connects the Kostelní náměstí with the Malý náměstí. The covered passage at the Heydl House is also called the Písecká Gate. To the right is the Parkán Park, followed by another, battlemented passage in which there is a depiction of Calvary.

Hiking

The gate, also called Písecká Gate, dates from the 16th century. It was part of the old medieval fortifications of the city. The pinnacle on the attic with its small corner towers is striking. Above the passage, the gate is adorned with a picture of a Rosenberg rider and Latin inscriptions praising the city's heyday under the Rosenbergs.
