Belginum Archaeological Park, Archaeological site and museum in Morbach, Germany

Belginum Archaeological Park is an open-air and indoor museum at the site of the Roman settlement Belginum near Wederath, a village in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district of Rhineland-Palatinate. It stands beside the Hunsrückhöhenstraße on the Roman road from Trier to Bingen, the Ausoniusstraße. A roughly 1,000-metre circular trail passes burial mounds, the former settlement, a Roman military camp and a well, each explained on panels.

Archaeological finds at Belginum were already reported regularly from the 17th century. The cemetery was used continuously from the 4th century BC, during the Hunsrück-Eifel culture, through the Late La Tène period into the 4th century AD. Excavations also revealed several temple precincts and an early Roman military camp. The Archäologiepark opened in 2002 after 50 years of intensive research.

The museum's permanent exhibition is titled "Leben an einer Fernstraße" (Life on a Long-Distance Road), presenting finds from the Roman roadside settlement of Belginum on the Trier–Bingen route. It also explains how archaeologists work and hosts changing special exhibitions and lectures on historical-cultural themes. The supporting association Archäologiepark Belginum e. V. was founded in 2001.

The park lies near Wederath in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district, right by the Hunsrückhöhenstraße and the Roman road from Trier to Bingen. A roughly 1,000-metre circular trail passes burial mounds, the former Roman settlement, the military camp and a well, with information boards at each stop. The site is reached by car; a railway halt at the former Zolleiche loading station, opened in 2009, has had no service since 2014.

The Roman vicus of Belginum appears on the Tabula Peutingeriana, a late Roman road map of the 5th century that largely reproduces 3rd-century maps. Excavations also uncovered several temple districts and an early Roman military camp that was probably used only briefly.
