* The line of defensive structures from the Roman Empire runs through the Upper Rhine Plain and in the immediate vicinity of our hotel. These are castles and watchtowers that were built one after the other over hundreds, even thousands of kilometers in a line between north and south within sight of each other and served for communication by means of signals. (Hike along the “Vierburgenweg” trail possible) This is a defensive line similar to the Limes, the Roman border wall, one of the largest defensive structures from the 1st to 6th centuries AD.
