The Danube Limes, serving as the northern border of the Roman Empire, ran along the Danube from Regensburg to the Black Sea and was part of the approximately 6,000-kilometer-long Limes encircling the Mediterranean from Scotland to Morocco. Since July 2021, the Danube Limes, with all its archaeological sites, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The history of *the Roman Empire at* **the UNESCO World Heritage Site Danube Limes** is fascinating. And it becomes even more exciting when brought to life through augmented reality. Between Passau and Schlögen, modern technology is now breathing new life into the site. Follow *Severinus of Noricum* to immerse yourself in the eventful history of the Danube Limes World Heritage Site and see what remains today. Explained in a straightforward, simple, and playful way—that’s what makes history truly fun! Learn more at The exhibition is open every year from Palm Sunday through October 31, daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.!
