Guided Story
Feel the gentle breeze as it rolls over the Mühlengraben. Can you hear the soft murmur of the water below? This bridge, where you're standing, has witnessed over two centuries of history. Imagine the clatter of horse-drawn carriages once crossing here, or travelers catching their first glimpse of Kettwig. Look to your left; the river meanders calmly, much like it did when raftsmen transported goods along its banks. Behind you, just a short walk away, stands the historic Market Church. Close your eyes, and you might still hear the faint echo of its bells, marking time for the locals. This is a place rich with history and stories waiting to be discovered.
