One of the largest and best preserved Roman farmhouses in southern Germany with numerous outbuildings. The reconstructed main building offers a great insight into the world of the Romans in southern Germany.

April-October, Tuesday to Sunday 10-17 clock.

The Roman Open Air Museum Hechingen-Stein houses one of the most important sites from Roman times in southern Germany. It is located on a forest property near the small village of Stein, a district of Hechingen in the Zollernalb district in Baden-Württemberg.

While searching for a medieval hamlet, the mayor of Stein, Gerd Schollian, discovered the first walls in the "Tuffelbach" forest in 1971. After further probes it became clear that it was the remains of a Roman manor, a so-called Villa Rustica. The responsible State Monuments Office in Tübingen finally carried out several months of excavation campaigns between 1978 and 1981, which included the main building and the bathing building.

In 1992 the annual permanent excavations began

Highly recommended for families. Because it is a common area with a lot of potential for little explorers.
