Old Roman Road Balsthal

Highlight • Historical Site

From the vernacular, all paths with a certain characteristic (with cart irons) were formerly referred to as the Roman path. Become more cautious today because it is difficult to date street buildings. What is certain is that the pass over the Obere Hauenstein was already intensively used in Roman times. However, it probably only dates back to the years 1711/12 in its visible form. The Plattenweg is therefore classified in the Federal Inventory for Historical Routes as "Historical course with a lot of substance",
