Experience Roman blacksmithing in groups of two.

The reconstructed Roman forge on the Vindonissa Legionary Trail is fired up every Saturday. With hammer and tongs, visitors experience authentic Roman blacksmithing in groups of two.

Under the guidance of a Roman blacksmith, a stylus is made from iron. Before or after forging, a Roman writing tablet is built independently from wood and wax. Two people are required per forging workstation; advance booking is necessary.

Minimum age: 12 years (persons under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult)
