In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

Ardussi In traditional times, Ura was the south-easternmost of the districts of central Bhutan called Bum-thang sDe-bzhi – ‘the Four Districts of Bumthang.’ Within the district are found some of the oldest datable Bhutanese monasteries such as Sombrang, connected to the Drigung Kagyudpa subsect of the Lhapa, constructed ca. 1230 AD by the Smyos Lama named Demchog (1179-1265).1 Before its incorporation into the Zhabdrung Rinpoche’s centralized Drukpa ecclesiastic state during the mid 17th century, Ura was apparently ruled by a line of petty kings, known as the Ura Gyalpo, barely mentioned in Bhutanese histories and about whom little is remembered today. At other times in Ura’s history it was ruled, or at least dominated by strongmen claiming Tibetan ancestry known as the Ura Dung (Choekey: Gdung). 2 Remnants of those days are found in hillside castle ruins of Gdung Nag-po and in the traditional nomenclature of several homes in Ura that reflect their past functional relationship to the house that once served as the old royal residency, situated at the top of the hill.3 Today, Ura is located just south of the lateral road leading to Mongar and eastern Bhutan and is perhaps best known to tourists for its annual yak dance (Yag Shoed) festival.

  • BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG 391 Lake Constance Stuttgart Tübingen © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Baden-Baden Höllental AREA: AREA
    © Lonely Planet Publications 391 Baden-Württemberg Baden-Württemberg is one of Germany’s most popular holiday regions, rivalled only by Bavaria in its natural landscapes and range of outdoor activities. Most of the state is covered by the fabled Black Forest (Schwarzwald), a vast nature playground whose peaks, lakes and cuckoo clocks are irresistible to hikers, cyclists, bathers, boaters and punctual people who find quarter-hourly mechanical bird calls charming rather than annoying. One of the country’s most prosperous states, Baden-Württemberg was created in 1951 out of three historic regions: Baden, Württemberg and Hohenzollern. Further back in history, much of its southern reaches were part of Swabia (Schwaben) and many people here still speak Swabian (Schwäbisch), a melodic dialect that other Germans find largely incomprehensible. In the centre, the capital Stuttgart is the home of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, and a wealth of urban pleasures. A bit to the east are Schwäbisch Hall, a medieval gem, and, on the banks BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG of the Danube, the architecturally audacious city of Ulm. The spas of Baden-Baden have been soothing the stresses of modern and ancient life since Roman times. The state is also home to three famous and ancient university cities. In Heidelberg, students still gather in ancient beer halls while Tübingen, with its narrow lanes and hilltop fortress, positively oozes charm. Flowery Freiburg, not far from the Swiss border, makes an ideal base for exploring the Black Forest and the rolling vineyards of Breisach, on the French frontier. Lake Constance (Bodensee), whose southern shore – overlooked by the Alps – is in Switzerland and Austria, is a huge draw, especially in summer.

V listinah je izpričan od leta 1228. Od nastanka do izumrtja leta 1418 so ga imeli grofje Ortenburški, nato pa Celjski in Habsburžani. Grad je nastal v poznem 12. stoletju kot ganerbni grad s simetrično zasnovo, obodnim obzidjem, manjšim notranjim dvoriščem in dvema palacijema. Do konca 14. stoletja so ga obdali z obsežnim zunanjim obrambnim obzidjem, ki sta ga ščitila obrambna stolpa in obrambna jarka. Sočasno je grad postal reprezentativna rezidenca grofov Ortenburških. Med letoma 1456 in 1573 je rezidenčno funkcijo izgubil in povečala se je njegova vojaška vloga. Takrat so ga dodatno zavarovali z utrdbenimi sestavinami, zlasti z utrdbenim prizidkom na južni strani grajskega jedra in z utrjenim oborom ob glavnem vhodu v stavbni kompleks.

  • Castles and Palaces on the Romantic Rhine
    Castles and Palaces on the Romantic Rhine Legendary! On the romantic Rhine, there is a castle landscape which is unique in its density and variety. Between Bingen and Rüdesheim in the south and the Siebengebirge (Seven Hills) in the north, mediaeval knights’ castles, pretty Baroque palaces and impressive fortifi cations unite to make up a unique cultural landscape. The va- riety of the buildings from various epochs is impressive: in this respect, some castles served to levy customs and were therefore important income sources for those in power. Other buildings on the other hand were constructed as safeguards against neighbouring archbishoprics or electorates and yet others fulfi lled purely representative functions. How the scores of castles and palaces on the romantic Rhine appear today could also hardly be more varied. Some of them have remained preserved over the centuries through elaborate restoration and accommodate restaurants, hotels or museums. Others radiate the mystic charm of (almost) crumbled ruins and one can only divine how many wars and revolts they have seen come and go. The count- less palaces, castles and ruins can be ideally experienced on foot, by bike or by ship on the Rhine and in the secondary valleys of the Rhine valley. The historical showpieces and weathered monuments are often linked by hiking paths. And it’s all the same whether they’re in ruined or restored condition: adventurous legends, often based on true facts, are entwined around many of the historical walls... it’s simply legendary! www.romantischer-rhein.de Mäuseturm (Mouse Tower), Bingen Klopp Castle, Bingen The Mouse Tower in Binger Loch is located on an inacces- Klopp Castle, founded in the middle of the 13th century by sible island and is, next to Pfalzgrafenstein Castle, the only the Archbishop of Mainz, Siegfried III, in Bingen, secured the defence tower and watch tower in the middle of the Rhine.
