July 1, 2023,Auf Römerpfaden - Die Minervatour

Hello everyone,

Anne and I were on the last Roman path. The Minervatour turned out to be a very beautiful Roman path. Lots of narrow paths, varied routes and a lot to see: 2 watchtowers (or the remains), Limes, an old Roman road (to be honest, we couldn't see it despite the information sign 😂), a stone circle, a …

You can find all information about the ROMAN PATHS at: tg-odenwald.de
You can download the path pass online or get it from the tourist information office in Mosbach.
For my Franconian friends: Neckarburken is on the Elz, not on the Neckar, which is about 10km away!
