Here you can see the remains of a Roman arena and buildings of a former fort, the ramparts and the battlefield are clearly visible. The information about the "Arena" and the castle can be read on well-made display boards. A little further there are still some stone walls, very worth seeing.

The elongated shape of the Roman fort from the 2nd century AD parallel to the Limes is unique among the fort locations on the Raetian Limes. The remains of a spring shrine, in which wooden votive offerings (wooden feet and arms) were found, are spectacular. In the Brunner Weiher you can walk about 80 meters on the remains of the Limes (wood). There are remains of the arena in the forest. It is one of the only three arenas that were built and used north of the Alps. Furthermore, along the forest path, there are the remains of a Roman terraced house that was located inside the fort.

We recommend a bike tour with a guide (free of charge or tip only): gaestefuehrer-unterschwaningen.de/angebote/gefuhrte-radtouren/limesradtour.
