    Hiking

    The Roman guard post Wp. 14/5 on the eastern slope of the Vorderen Schlossbuck (Burgstallwald) in Gunzenhausen was first established in 1887 by Dr. Eidam excavated. The 5.50 mx 7.40 m tower seems to have been added to the Limes wall later, as the northern corner of the tower overlaps the foundation of the Limes wall.

    In order to ensure complete surveillance, the poorly visible location on the eastern slope of the Vorderen Schlossbucks made this tower only 160 m away from Wp. 14/4 necessary.

    The Romans in Gunzenhausen!

    To the east of the city center is the Burgstallwald. In 1980 the foundation walls of a Limes watchtower were restored. The course of the palisade fence (also called "Devil's Wall") is illustrated by logs in this area. Just a short distance away is a reconstructed watchtower on the slope of the Vorderen Schlossbucks. Display boards provide visitors with detailed information.
