Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Regensburg Großprüfening - Kastell und Vic
There is not much to see at Großprüfening, and that is worth knowing before you arrive expecting walls. The Roman fort and its civil settlement lie on the western edge of Regensburg, close to where the Naab flows into the Danube, and what survives is mostly under fields and houses, known from excavation and aerial photographs rather than from standing masonry. The site is part of the Danube Limes, the river frontier that UNESCO listed in 2021, and its value is in the position: a garrison watching a river junction, a natural route north into what the Romans considered barbarian country.

2. Weltenburg‐Am Galget - Kleinkastell
The Danube does something unexpected just upstream of Kelheim. Instead of wandering across flat Bavarian farmland, it cuts straight through a band of white Jurassic limestone, squeezed between cliffs that rise steeply from the water. This is the Weltenburg Narrows, and on the hill above the abbey at Weltenburg, at the spot called Am Galget, the Romans put a small fort to watch the river and the frontier.

3. Fort site and civil settlement of Pfoerrin
Between Ingolstadt and Kelheim, the Danube flows through a broad, flat valley in Bavaria, with hop gardens, fields of maize and asparagus beds on its banks. Pförring is a small market town on the north bank, with Neustadt an der Donau and Vohburg on the other side. In Roman times, this was the frontier: the Raetian Limes ended at the Danube just downstream, and the Romans built a fort here, known as Celeusum, with a civil settlement outside its walls.
