On the 536 m high Heidenbuckel, south of the state-recognized resort of Grab, stands a reconstructed Roman stone watchtower with a palisade, rampart, and ditch, as well as a visualization of the Limes route. The Heidenbuckel is the second highest point of the Upper Germanic Limes; it was here that guard post 9/83 was located. Visitors can gain a particularly good impression of the Limes route through the "Limes Visualization." Baden-Württemberg's first Limes educational trail begins at the tower. During the warmer months of the year, the Limes Cicerones usually man the watchtower on Sundays and public holidays from May to October from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Those wishing to visit the tower outside of these hours can obtain the key at Landhaus Noller near the nearby Marhördt golf course.

Restaurant "Zur Einkehr" only open from Friday afternoon over the weekend. If at all, inform beforehand.
