Hunting for Romans

The Roman town of Kempten

Join us as we track the history of the Romans as part of a visit to the former Roman town of Cambodunum. During a classic guided tour of the town, you will learn about Kempten's eventful history which dates back over 2,000 years. Roman buildings and archaeological finds in the Archaeological Park Cambodunum (APC) tell us about the lives the Romans led. Various stations along the adventure trail through the APC invite you to get stuck in, and the free Cambodunum app allows you to immerse yourself in everyday Roman life with the help of virtual reality.
