    Tips

    As one of the last visible signs of the historical past of the market town of Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting, the remains of the walls of a Roman country house, once part of a large-scale settlement, are located in Totenholzl - about 1 km from the outskirts of town, built around 160 AD.

    The walls were uncovered by Dr. Vetters 1951, after a renewed threat of decay a restoration took place in 1997.

    The Villa Rustica is a seven-room building, whereby the foundations of four rooms can still be clearly seen today. The Romans did not do without the well-known "living comfort", this proves a kind of underfloor heating, where smoke was led through the whole house in ducts. A piece of lead pipe was also found in a room that may have served as a kitchen. This in turn proves that at least one of the rooms had running water. Under no circumstances should this Roman country house be a single farmstead, because in Urharting, a few meters above, the foundations of a much larger Roman farmstead could be located, but these were no longer uncovered.

      Walking past the train station, at the end of the sports field, diagonally opposite, I see a large building painted yellow. I leave this on the left, cross the railway tracks and stay on this path until I come to a wooded area after about 500 m, where the "Römervilla" is also located.

      By bike along the Roman cycle path on the detour from the main route coming from the Lambach power plant. More information about the Roman Cycle Path at: roemerradweg.info
