Impressive what the Romans did. Historically very interesting. Unfortunately, the spruce forest behind the palisade had to be felled due to the drought and bark beetles. New plantings could already be seen.

From Anhausen you can actually start a lot of wonderful tours. But today I canceled / reduced the originally planned larger hike because the hiking trails are currently in very bad condition. (Ankle-deep in the mud / hardly any signage).
It's a shame, because the area is really very nice - u. a. the Iserbach loop also passes there.
Gladly …
