Located south of the city, it offers visitors a glimpse into the monumentality of the Roman border fortifications. The tower is accessible and serves as a viewing point with a sweeping view of the building site. Numerous information panels provide background information on the Limes and the construction phases of the watchtowers.

Very informative descriptions. The tower is a bit too modern for me. Here I would have liked something more ancient.
