Aalen, District capital in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The city extends along the Kocher River at the northern edge of the Swabian Alps, maintaining numerous half-timbered structures from the 16th century.
Romans established the largest auxiliary fort along the Rhaetian Limes around 150 AD, housing a cavalry unit called Ala II Flavia milliaria.
The Theater der Stadt Aalen presents performances throughout the year while the Reichsstädter Tage festival celebrates the regional heritage since 1975.
The Limesmuseum displays Roman artifacts and archaeological findings, allowing visitors to explore the ancient history of the settlement through exhibits.
The former Tiefer Stollen mine features underground tunnels reaching 400 meters deep, where filtered air benefits individuals with respiratory conditions.
