Beautifully situated pond in a quiet location

The world's longest bench made from a single trunk! Apprentices from the Ellwangen Forestry Office used a chainsaw to craft the world's longest bench from a Douglas fir tree over 130 years old. The fir tree was an impressive 48 meters tall and weighed 8.4 tons. A suitable trunk section was used to create a bench measuring exactly 30 meters and 22 centimeters.

This labyrinth is not an ancient building structure. It was built as part of an international work camp in July 2009 in the Römerpark and is intended for relaxation.

Since 2020 you can also visit a Roman-style garden in the park. Together with the rear facade of a Roman strip house, a view of the Roman vicus of Ruffenhofen is possible. The facade was built in cooperation with the Jugendbauhütte Regensburg and presented for the first time with the Roman kitchen garden at the Wassertrüdingen State Garden Show 2019. Smaller excavations were carried out at the end of the 19th century by Wilhelm Kohl, route commissioner of the Reich Limes Commission. His published results formed the current state of research until the late 1970s. Since then, aerial archeology has been able to contribute new insights into the Limes fort, its structure and the surrounding camp village (vicus). With the help of geophysical prospections by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation, an overall plan of the facility was created. In the summer of 2005, the association carried out another excavation in the area of the fort wall. Source: Wikipedia

At the foot of the hill there is a replica of the fort (mini fort) on a scale of 1:10.

The park is freely accessible. The actual fort has been made visible again today with bushes and markings. The mini fort is a nasty trap. It impressively shows what it looked like here 1800 years ago. Unfortunately it's very impressive from far away, but it gets smaller and smaller from close up. 😄

With its 20x20m, the labyrinth has an impressive 400m path that winds through the pattern without any wrong paths.
