The Roman limes, the fortified border of the Roman Empire in North Eastern Europe, has left traces which can still be found almost 2000 years later. But a lot of the fortification were wooden. In Vielbrunn im Odenwald they reconstructed a limes watchtower on stone foundations.
The tower is open on weekends and public holidays. If you arrive, like I did, when it’s closed you can look at the construction on several large information boards.
I think I’ll be back to have a look inside.

I’ve been to a Roman fort on the Hadrian’s Wall (near Hexham). And I found it fascinating that the atmosphere there and the atmosphere here are almost identical. It was a definitely all directed from one central point.

Hadrian’s Wall is special. So glad Germany has a similarly evocative experience.

Just as much as Hadrian’s Wall, I suspect. It’s from the same period.
