Archaeology students from the University of Salzburg, under the guidance of experienced experts, developed a new concept for the “Altheim Roman Museum,” which has been in existence since 1993 and is run with great dedication by the Zeitspuren Association. Located directly on the Roman Cycle Path, the Roman Museum uses numerous exhibits to inform visitors about daily life in the Roman province. As supply centers, the large estates were responsible for producing sufficient food for the civilian population and the military in the province of Noricum. In addition to agriculture and livestock farming, visitors learn a great deal about daily life and work in the Roman Innviertel region. Topics such as diet and clothing, as well as land acquisition, strict hierarchies, and death, are further aspects explored in depth at the museum. Furthermore, the museum offers many interactive stations where visitors of all ages can participate and experiment, answering questions in an informative and playful way. The Roman Museum is particularly recommended for school groups, as its age-appropriate educational programs serve as a valuable supplement to classroom instruction. **From your bike seat to Roman times:** Visitors arriving **by** bike on the **Roman Bike Trail** can use the open-air and weather-protected rest area right on site. Even outside of opening hours, exciting insights are offered, and the museum itself becomes a showcase. **TIP:** The open-air site featuring the reconstructed baths of the Roman Villa Weirading is just 3 km away and can be visited at any time. The path is well-signposted from the museum.
