There are numerous historically interesting stations of
Roman history in Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, BadenWuerttemberg and Bavaria en route. They include rebuilt
towers and forts, or parts thereof, preserved fort and fort
baths foundation walls, as well as sections of the border
fortifications themselves, which can still be identified and,
last but not least, these finds can be seen in smaller and
larger museums. These stations are stringed to each other
like a row of pearls on a necklace, each one a Roman
highlight in itself.
