The Neckar-Alb Roman Route, opened in 1999, gives visitors a chance to see and re-live the Roman past of the Alb region. The route, which for the time being is approx. 100 km long, follows the traces of old Roman roads, from the former garrison and village of Burladingen, through the Killer valley, via the villa rustica (farm) in Hechingen-Stein, Rottenburg am Neckar (the town known as Sumelocenna in Antiquity) and Nürtingen-Oberensingen (Roman farm) to Köngen (fortress and Vicus Grinario). The route therefore takes in every type of settlement of the Roman era. Between the Neckar and the Swabian Alb, the Roman Route leads the visitor to typical Roman excavations, monuments and (open air) museums. a fascinating voyage of discovery in the Romans’ footsteps.
