On the trail of the Romans - Ripa Pannonica
From Britain to Mesopotamia, the Roman Empire conquered the entirety of the Mediterranean coastal regions and at its peak, controlled a 6 000 000 km stretch of dry land. Defending such an expansive empire that was also very diverse geographically and culturally was only possible under very organized conditions. The several thousand kilometer long Limes (Latin: “path”) served this purpose, the borderline traversing thousands of kilometers across mountains and valleys, winding along the river lines was given the name “ripa.” The section of Roman limes along the Danube in Hungary bears the name Ripa Pannonica. Visit each of the municipalities where the remnants of the limes can be seen. And while you're on the tour, do not forget that you are at a potential World Heritage sight, as this section of the limes is among the Hungarian sights on the UNESCO world heritage tentative list.
In the footsteps of old professions
Have you ever wondered how the gold seekers extracted gold dust from the water of the Danube? Would you like to know who the ‘burcsellás’ (boatmen) were? We show a couple of old professions that are hardly practiced by anyone in the area now, or have already become extinct, even though they provided livelihood to many people in the age of our great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents. Learn more about the forgotten professions!
