September 11, 2025, Guck ins Ländche Shelter on the Roman Road

The refuge is located directly at the Hausecker Forest, directly on the over 2,000-year-old Roman road, a historic trade and military route. It is located within the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley Cultural Landscape, which underscores its cultural significance.
