    We frequently go to this museum as part of a group tour, usually on weekends. It's a fascinating place for climbers, showcasing old equipment, and you can even climb the tower. They provide a guide who speaks English. The museum is open until 7 p.m., but it’s wise to call ahead since it can get crowded with group visits.

    Музей посвящен альпинисту и расположен в его доме. Здесь представлена его история. Можно безопасно подняться на башню и увидеть, как жили сваны в прошлом. Все экспонаты напоминают о прошлом веке, что создает особую атмосферу.

    Moc lidí a naprosto chaotická organizace. Personál neumí anglicky nebo zná jen pár slov. Naše skupina měla 11 členů, ale pán trval na tom, že do věže pustí jen deset. Po odchodu jednoho člena pustil další čtyři, kteří čekali s námi, ale nedokázal vysvětlit proč. Nakonec jsme odešli. Nedoporučuji. Je to katastrofa.

    Es war ganz interessant, aber nicht unbedingt ein Muss. Trotzdem ist es spannend, einen Einblick in die Bergsteigerwelt vergangener Zeiten zu erhalten.

    Хорошее место, но в башне пол чуть не провалился.

    This museum and tower are located at the far end, requiring a 20-minute walk from the center. The museum features a fascinating collection of mountaineering photographs, equipment, and climbing accomplishments. The interiors of the tower are designed for easy walking, with just a final climb to reach the roof. Everything is well-kept and safe.
