    The walls of the small fort at Rötelsee are enthroned on a hill between Welzheim and the Aichstruter reservoir. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage "Borders of the Roman Empire". In addition, a replica of a Limes palisade with moat and wall can be seen nearby. The small fort is freely accessible all year round.
