About half of the wall of the old Roman camp is still preserved and some of it is accessible. Archaeological excavations around the ramparts indicate mining and processing of metals. In this respect, the military camp seems to have been important for the trade in metals.

An interesting contemporary witness if you are interested in the Roman period. There is currently a little protection there, so you can't get to the ramparts from the signs.

Basically very interesting. The camp dates back to around 10 AD and is located on Germanic terrain. At that time the Romans still wanted to occupy the northern part of Germania. A short time later, after losing the Battle of Varus, they retreated and built the Limes as a border.
