Currently (winter 2019) there is a lot of renovations. Hope it gets the old charm back. Unfortunately, the Limes trail is currently not recommended. Due to logging he is not walkable.

When we were there (July 2019), the area between the information board and the chapel looked rather neglected. Much was mixed with rubble and high stinging nettles, so we did not look around. Maybe we have overlooked the essentials and I mark the fort still as a highlight.

The "seating group for legionaries" is nice to look at, unfortunately it probably dates from around 1800 and was brought here in the romantic zeal of Prince zu Löwenstein - Wertheim - Rosenberg
