Zollhaus Herbede

Imagine standing in the footsteps of a traveler from over a century ago, eagerly waiting to cross the Ruhr River. Just to your left, the Lake Bridge was once bustling with merchants and travelers, each paying a small toll to transport their goods. Right here, at the Tollhouse, was the epicenter of trade. Behind you now is a beer garden, a quaint spot for a break, but back then, the air would have been filled with the sounds of horse-drawn carriages. To your left, the Villa Ruhrtal whispers of past elegance. Look closely at the Tollhouse walls, and you might sense the echoes of history and the countless stories this place holds.
