A leisurely walk will take you everywhere in Schlögen Roman Park where you can enjoy nature, culture and culinary delights. Unwind on the hotel's Danube terrace and transport yourself back 1800 years, when Roman soldiers monitored the river from here. While the little ones try their hand at being Romans at the Roman playground in the leisure centre right next to the bathing building, the adults can find out about Roman bathing culture and linger on relaxation loungers before continuing their hike. Roman sculptures show you the way, for example up to the famous Schlögener Donaublick. There you can feel the true power and beauty of nature, and there is an almost fairytale view of the Danube's legendary breakthrough valley.

The history of the Roman Empire at the Danube Limes UNESCO World Heritage Site is exciting. And it becomes even more exciting when it is brought to life with augmented reality. Between Passau and Schlögen, modern technology is now being used to breathe new life into them. Follow Severinus of Noricum to immerse yourself in the eventful history of the Danube Limes World Heritage Site and see what is still there today. Uncomplicated, simple and playfully explained - this makes history really enjoyable!

The civilian settlement

The small civilian settlement (vicus), which was located in the area of today's campsite, was established around 150 AD. The Roman vicus of Schlögen probably served as a road station as well as a landing and reloading point for ships. The bathing building occupied a central position in the settlement and was located directly next to the road.
