Along the Limes Trail, you can discover the remains of Roman guard posts that were once part of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes. These watchtowers and border fortifications served to protect the Roman Empire and monitor the border.

In the middle of the forest and very hidden in the footsteps of the Romans.

Not much remains of the "Shabby Hedge" watchtower. The foundations of one corner of the tower are still there. Without the information board, you would surely continue along the lovely narrow path and miss the remains.
