Roman Watchtower at Post 49 (Limes)

Highlight • Historical Site

What we see here is the reconstruction of the Roman watchtower - built in 1966-67!
According to current knowledge, it should be one storey higher, have a different roof covering instead of tiles and be plastered white. Source:

Highlight • Trail

In the morning you can still get through the trails well, from early afternoon many pedestrians are out and about, then it becomes difficult to ride through the partly unclear sections.
