Burgus Ahegg

Burgus Ahegg is a Roman military outpost in Buchenberg featuring large stone structures arranged in an almost square formation with an entrance on the northern side. The visible remains show how soldiers built and organized their defensive position in this region.

This Roman watchtower was built on a ridge formed by glacial moraine to monitor border territories during the late Roman period. Its position away from the main Limes road allowed soldiers to watch over surrounding areas.

Archaeological excavations have revealed a fireplace and drainage system that provide evidence of Roman military life and construction methods from the period.

The site sits in hilly terrain and requires a short walk across open ground to reach the remains. Conditions at the location can vary by season, so sturdy footwear and water are recommended for any visit.

Excavations here uncovered a fireplace and drainage system that reveal how the Roman garrison actually lived and worked at the post. These findings offer rare details about the daily reality of soldiers stationed in this remote outpost.
