Legionary Trail Vindonissa, Archaeological site in Windisch, Switzerland
The Legionary Trail Vindonissa spans across twenty hectares, featuring eleven original Roman locations with preserved foundations, walls, and architectural elements from ancient times.
The Roman military camp at Vindonissa operated from 15 BC until 101 AD, housing three different legions that contributed to the expansion of the Empire.
The site exhibits evidence of daily Roman military life through recovered items including weapons, tools, personal belongings, and military equipment from the stationed legions.
Visitors can access the archaeological site from April through November, with guided tours available Tuesday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, weekends until 6 PM.
