Lots of interesting information about the area's past, including the Celts and Romans.

The following can be found on the Rödermark town website:

Northwest of Urberach lies the Bulau ridge. The sand dunes in this area, which here overlie the foothills of the Odenwald forest, were used early on for the construction of burial mounds. Bronze arm rings date their origin to the Middle Hallstatt period (700–450 BC). Originally, there was a group of about 25 burial mounds here, two of which have been reconstructed.

The "High Road" (Hohe Straße) led from the Roman administrative center of Dieburg across the Bulau, past the burial mounds, towards Dietzenbach.

The reconstructed burial mounds, together with the replica of the structure of such a Roman road, a time bridge to Earth's history and the figurative representation of a Celtic funeral procession, created by the artist Kai Georg Wujanz, form the "cultural-historical experience site on the Bulau", a project of the Rhine-Main Regional Park.
