Hiking

Leugensteine are Roman milestones. One league corresponds to 2.2 kilometers, and this is how distance was once measured in Celtic areas. The distance to the next main town was also carved on the stone. On the Jupiterweg you pass a faithful replica of the stone.

Hiking

In certain formerly Celtic areas of the Gallic and Germanic provinces, calculations were sometimes not made in miles, but in leagues, which correspond to 1.5 MP, i.e. about 2.22 km. Therefore one speaks here of Leugensteine. They came up from the time of Trajan and became widespread in these regions from Septimius Severus. (Wiki)

Hiking

The Roman Leugenstein on the Jupiterweg is an impressive relic from the time of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes. Such milestones marked the distances along Roman roads in 'leugae' – a Roman unit of measurement equivalent to approximately 2.2 km.
