Official signpost of the German Limes Road (German: Deutsche Limes-Straße), a tourist route for motorists, cyclists and hikers that follows the course of the UNESCO - World Heritage Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes. Starting in Rheinbrohl (near Koblenz) on the Rhine, the German Limes Route meanders through forests, farmland and more than 90 towns in four states (Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria) to Passau on the Danube. Together with the reconstructed portions of the Limes structures, large on-site information boards and newly built or redesigned Limes Museums allow the visitor to experience [archaeology](https://www.worldhistory.org/Archaeology/) in a unique and exciting way.
