Alter Zoll, Bastion at Rhine River bank in Bonn, Germany

The Alter Zoll fortress features massive stone walls, two historical cannons, and provides views across the Rhine River and surrounding mountains.

The bastion holds the Ernst Moritz Arndt monument from 1865 and functions as a central meeting point for students and residents.

Located at Brassertufer 1, the outdoor beer garden accommodates 450 guests and operates daily from 11:00 AM to midnight.

A 150-year-old plane tree stands on the bastion grounds, reaching 30 meters in height with a circumference of 4.83 meters.
