At this point, the forest path cuts right through one of the 13 Roman training marching camps in Uedemer Hochwald. At the edge of the path, the cuts of the rampart, which was flattened after around 1800 years, can be seen, as can the ramparts surrounding the rectangular camp parallel to the path, a few meters into the forest, with a pointed ditch in front of it, which is now covered in sand. The characteristic rounded corners of the fortifications built by the legionaries are clearly visible in the lidar scan. We walk through the former gate into the camp and enjoy the peaceful times.

There is an information board with an overview map at the car park by the drilling tower.

If you enjoy digging mounds, even if the mounds are barely more than 50-60cm high, and like wandering through the forests, then this is the right place.
