Within the bounds of the modern Netherlands, the frontier of the Roman Empire lay along the line river, though for some decades it may have also embraced some lands to the north. Over three centuries, the Roman army constructed earthworks, roads, fences, and fortifications in the area. These fortified boundary zones were known as "limes" and existed on many of the empire's frontiers.
The Netherlands has now constructed walkways and bikeways linking the remnants of the limes. This video shows the limes. I'd sure like to travel along that path.
