H0tamer

The Romans started in the first century to build fortifications along the border.
One of those borders was later called Limes Germanicus.
It streches from the North Sea near Katwijk to the Danube near Regensburg.

Osterburken has the remnants of such a castel (fortification)., see Extra.
Osterburken also has a Limes museum, really worth visiting. The webpage is in German only.

Many watchtowers were built between the castels. My blip shows a replica of such a watchtower.
At the museum you can buy a coin (1&euro -) needed to enter the tower.

Some days ago blipper RenFreBar visited the Saalburg, also on the Limes. Worth a visit too.

Today I hiked from Roigheim to Ahorn-Eubigheim, the fifth leg on my hike West2East.
Interesting for me was, that I walked between Roigheim and Sennfeld 3.9km on the same trail as in 1996, then I was walking from the area we live no
to the most southern point of Germany (a total of 58 legs, completed between 1990 and 2015).

The plan for hike West2East was to go as much as possible along the direct line between France and Czechia.
But needing good public transportation, and wishing to see at least some interesting places, I diverted the goal a bit, including Würzburg and Bamberg.

The 2nd and 3rd extras show the plan and the track covered so far, as well as the hike of today in more detail.
