As part of the Hüfingen Roman adventure trail, a real-size piece of Limes was reproduced here.

The term is originally derived from the Latin words limus "quer" and limen "door threshold". Initially, the Romans only understood this term to be a field or a field, which was delimited with boundary stones (termini), wooden posts or clearly recognizable landmarks (trees, rivers).

From the time of Gaius Iulius Caesar, military roads with fortified sentries and marshals on a forest aisle (see also below) or quickly laid out roads in enemy territory were called Limes.
