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.
