The Paasstrasse has always been busy and so it is not surprising that the Romans set up a small camp near the Limes early on. The larger camp, the Saalburg, followed later.

The walls of the previous camp can still be clearly seen today

This is outside the fort towards the car park - these are also ruins but well explained by a notice board.

Two simple earthworks (ramp) on the Limes served as accommodation before the fort was built
