Built as a fully reconstructed villa rustica based on a Roman model, it provides visitors with an authentic picture of life in the Roman Empire. The complex features faithful replicas and archaeological finds that bring the past to life. A special highlight is the Roman tavern, where you can enjoy historical dishes. The workshops also offer unique insights into ancient craftsmanship, which you can experience up close.

📍 In the vineyards above Remich There was more activity than usual between the rows of ripe vines today: harvest workers at work, full grapes, and the scent of autumn in the air. It's a true experience to observe this work up close – quiet, respectful, and full of respect for the craft. 💡 Tip: If you're out and about at the right time, you'll get a glimpse into the grape harvest – a fascinating spectacle that shows how much work goes into each bottle. Please keep your distance and simply enjoy the moment.

Mosaic stones were discovered here by a farmer in 1852. Subsequent excavations revealed a large Roman villa. Particularly significant is the large mosaic floor, the largest north of the Alps. Details online: https://www.roemischevillanennig.de/de/

Very nice circuit, beautiful forest and in addition the singing of birds. For info we parked our car in the parking lot of the medical center, the lap was 30 seconds.

I have stayed at the Sonnenhof several times and I am always very happy there. From there you can also go on wonderful tours on foot or by bike to nearby France, for example to Malbrouck Castle or Sierck-les-Bains. I particularly like the (evening) meal at the Sonnenhof outside in the meadow under (fruit) trees.
