In the Footsteps of the Romans – Just Outside RosenheimJust outside Rosenheim, wonderfully quiet lakes beckon, whose shores are mostly left in their natural state with only small exceptions. One of these is the Hofstätter See. It has two small, hidden bathing spots that barely disturb nature. Especially impressive for nature lovers is the Burgermoos, the reclamation zone in the southwest of the lake. The steep right bank of the Inn, the Innleiten, is also interesting. We explore these in the area of the Roman settlement Pons Aeni at the Inn bridge of the Via Julia, the connection between Juvavum (today Salzburg) and Augusta Vindelicorum (today Augsburg). A Roman altar stone embedded in the well next to the Leonhards chapel – just one of numerous finds from the Roman era discovered here – recalls this. The proposed route, shaped like a figure eight, appears somewhat curious at first glance but is chosen thoughtfully, as you approach the mountains where there is a clear view, always keeping the Alpine panorama in sight.

On this tour, you get a fleeting glimpse behind the curtain into the realm of fairies and elves. But beware: as soon as a mortal makes their presence known, the fairies and elves quickly disappear to keep their secret safe. However, those who sneak up carefully might be able to catch a brief glimpse of them in their realm.
