DID YOU KNOW?<br />

Medieval Tollbooths<br />

The castles along the Rhine Valley were originally constructed as fortified residences to protect the land<br />

from marauders — but castle owners also utilised their strategically advantageous positions to impose<br />

tolls on passing merchants. This may explain why you will see so many castles while cruising the 35-mile<br />

stretch of the Rhine between Mainz and Bonn, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br />
