Ancient Roman Watch Tower

The UNESCO listed the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes as World Heritage in 2005. The Romans were in our area from about 160 to 250 AD and left astonishing marks of their presence. 

The Imperial Limes Commission excavated the sites of the watch towers around 1890. In the years 2010 and 2011 the foundations of three watch towers along the Limes Hiking Trail were reconstructed. In the process several debris fields were conserved. Boards provide additional information.
