Limes Info Point
Was founded already in the 9th century and offers a beautiful view across the low mountain range of the Hahnenkamm. The Limes-line is not far away from the municipality and located on a high plateau, on which the Romans erected the fort “Icinia-cum” for protective purposes and a fort bath house.
Exposed fort bath house 900 m northwest of Theilenhofen and Limes tower with sections of the Limes at Rittern.
Fort bath house: located in a valley. Walls from the more recent building period excavated and conserved.
Fort: a stone column marks the northeast corner; footpaths mark the course of the enclosing walls, whereas the fort corners are marked by the planting of trees. Its location on a high plateau guarantees a good visibility.
