The Saalburg, a fort with a camp village on the border of the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribal areas in Roman times, was rebuilt around 1900 on the initiative of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The complex, which is unique in the world, is part of the UNESCO Limes World Heritage Site. The complete fortifications, buildings made of stone and wood and reconstructed baking ovens can be seen. Staged rooms, models and archaeological finds illustrate the living and working environment of the soldiers and the population in the village outside the gates. A tour of the Saalburg gives visitors a good insight into the history, culture and way of life of the Romans.

The Saalburg Roman fort is not only a museum, but also an archaeological park. The Saalburg offers entertainment for all ages. Across the street, hidden in the forest, you will find a mortuary. For anyone who wants to know more, here is the link to the website saalburgmuseum.de.

And for hiking fans who want to try their hand at the Limes, there is more information here:

Have fun! :-)
