Black Forest, Day II or Roman Ruins







In the middle of a forest, almost impossible to find, there are these Roman ruins. Seriously, it's almost like you are not supposed to find them...no signs to speak of. Without the help of a family living nearby, we would have not seen "Villa Rustica". But once we found it, it was hard to leave...it's a magical place and it feels weird walking on walls made by Romans in the 2nd century.
The fourth picture shows the building where the Roman inhabitants took baths. They went from a nook with a tub of cold water through a hallway (which had floor heating nontheless!) to one of two nooks with tubs of warm water.
