Embark on a journey through time along the "Via Ausonia", which goes back to antiquity, and enjoy fantastic views from the vantage point of the Roman tower in Dill.
Attentive observers can follow Roman traces on a reconstructed section of the Roman road up to a short stretch of the uncovered original road from the 1st century AD. Above the section of the old Roman road, you finally come across the impressive reconstruction of a Roman watchtower, which was erected in 1985. The nine-metre-high replica can be climbed via two wooden ladders inside the tower. Once at the top, the wooden walkway offers a fantastic panoramic view over Dill with its striking castle ruins and the extensive hilly landscape of the beautiful Hunsrück region. A seating area is available in front of the Roman tower and invites you to take a comfortable break.
