Römerwarte Katzenberg (Roman Hill Fort)

On Mayen´s Katzenberg there was the lagerst Roman hill fort of Eifel and Hunsrück. It was built about 300 A.D., a troubled time when the Roman Limes had been destroyed. To get a realistic impression, about 70m of a walk along the battlements has been rebuilt. On the top of the hill a shelter has been erected in order to protect the excavation site of the original Roman observatory.
