The Roman long-distance roads are made comprehensible and tangible again in the Roman Road Adventure Regions using modern means.
Mansio
The entry and information points are called mansio. Here you can start your excursions along the Roman long-distance roads and switch from car to bicycle or start your hikes. Surrounded by fruit trees, the rest and relaxation area is a pleasant place to take a break.

COLUMNAR OAKS
The course of the Roman road itself is marked in many places by columnar oaks, even and especially where the ancient road itself no longer exists today.
