Quite a large park, which includes the former Roman fortresses (with amphitheater) and thermal baths (today with LVR Museum). Very interesting to look at. When the weather is good, be sure to bring something for a picnic on one of the meadows.

Not only the exhibition, but also the building of the Roman Museum is impressive. The 20 m high building has the dimensions of the entrance hall of the Great Baths of the Roman city.
