Guided Story
Imagine standing here in the year 1814. The Zeller Torhaus before you was once a bustling checkpoint. Look up and notice the details – these sturdy walls have seen a lot. Just behind you, a short walk away, stands the Zeller Gate, which once served as an entrance to a busy city. Travelers would stop here to declare goods or deliver messages. On a clear day like today, you might imagine the clatter of carriages on the road. A little further south is the Teufelsschanze, a name that echoes with a darker legend. But here, at this gatehouse, you feel the calm of history more than its drama.
