Gleisdorf

Römerweg - walk in the footsteps of the Romans.

The Romans settled in Gleisdorf from the middle of the 1st to the middle/end of the 3rd century. The settlement covered about 9 hectares. Finds were found down to a depth of 2-3 m. Gleisdorf was on the edge of the major trade routes (Amber Road) a day's drive from Pannonia (Hungary) and belonged to the province of Noricum.

The circular route begins at the parking lot of the swimming pool, leads behind the pool to the Hartbergersiedlung, past the fire brigade, into Weizer Straße, along the cemetery, via Ludwig-Binder-Straße, and then at the Autohaus Fritz turn into Lederergasse and past the former Römerhof to lead past back to the swimming pool. This short walk (duration approx. 1.5 hours) through the city makes Roman life tangible and the expansion of the settlement tangible. Not only the existence of an amphitheater shows the extent of the settlement at that time, but also the spread of the finds in the urban area.
