German Limes Route

Beschreibung:

The German Limes Route is some 700 km long, and follows the former Roman frontier wall known as the Upper Germanic or Rhaetian Limes, which ran from the Rhine to the Danube. The route starts in Rheinbrohl/Bad Hönningen on the River Rhine and ends in Regensburg, on the River Danube. Along the way it passes many sites of cultural-historical importance that bear witness to the Roman past in the Rhineland Palatinate, Hesse, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. The route takes you to Roman monuments, reconstructed sites, museums and excavations along what was once the frontier of the Roman Empire. The Limes is garded as Germany’s most significant archaeological monument. Between Lorch and Tannhausen on the Swabian Alb, it presents the visitor with especially interesting and varied testimony of Roman history.
