Arnsburg-Alteburg Roman Fort

At this place there is a huge field with excavation sites. The Roman fort “Arnsburg-Alteburg” once stood here with its camp village and an amphitheater.

A Roman fort was once located here. The association has set up a very clear 3D model here. If you think of this picture on the existing site, you can get a good idea of the size of the settlement.

Only a few meters further up on the mountain, at the megalithic grave "Heiliger Stein", the view is even more impressive! There you also have a great view of the Vogelsberg with the Hoherodskopf

Heiliger Stein Megalithic Tomb

Highlight • Historical Site

With picnic table and trash can perfect for a break overlooking the castle Miinzenberg. Alternatively, with a blanket in the meadow overlooking Muschenheim. At the table it can get very cold, it is not protected from the wind at all. If it gets too cold, sit down on the bench hidden behind the bushes and look at the megalithic tomb. There it is much sheltered from the wind.
