Roman Limes
Some 2,000 years ago, a 200-kilometre-long border ran through the Netherlands with several Roman army camps, forts and watchtowers attached to it. The Latin word for border is 'Limes' and that Roman Limes can now be walked with the Long Distance Footpath: Roman Limespad. It runs from Katwijk - where the Rhine flowed into the sea at the time - along Oude Rijn, Kromme Rijn and Nederrijn to behind Nijmegen where the path crosses the border, towards Xanten.
