    A very beautiful reconstructed Limes tower. During opening hours, you can see a small collection of historical objects. The view is very beautiful.

    The Kastell Book, also called Rainau-Buch Castle, is a former Roman garrison village built near the Rhaetian Limes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for border security. The remains of the Fortification lie on the district of belonging to the community Rainau village Buch im Ostalbkreis in eastern Baden-Württemberg. The fort forms since 1972, together with its ancient civil settlement (Vicus), the along along leading section of the Limes and the Limestor Dalkingen the Limes Park Rainau. Book was known except by the Limestor especially by his precious finds.

    The way to the tower leads over a wide forest path, which is doable with a racing bike!
