Hiking

If you continue along the path from the temple complex of the Matron's Sanctuary, you will come across a settlement from Roman times on the way down. Only a few preserved or reconstructed foundation walls provide visible evidence of this.

For more information on the division of strip houses see de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streifenhaus_(r%C3%B6misch). There is a short film on YouTube about the use of a strip house, see

Hiking

It is worth taking a short detour across the field to the three reconstructed foundations and the associated information board. Here it is explained how astonishingly large the former settlement Marcomagus was, which stretched in dense development over a good 500m along the road into the Urttal.
