Yes, it is the Dambach "Numeruskastell"´s small Amphitheatre. :-)
The description you provide in the link is wrong, though, there is no "Kastell Hammerschmiede"... There is a similar find from Künzing: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kastell_Künzing and, of course, Zugmantel (Nathan was very close) :-)

My helmet is off to those who recognized this photo as an "amphitheatre", where there is not more than a ridge with trees. It was a dead ringer for a photo of an area I found of the Teutoburg Forest. Good job Robert.

Quote:Yes, it is the Dambach "Numeruskastell"´s small Amphitheatre. :-) I did not provide the description — the author of the photograph did. The author also supplied the coordinates and pointed the spot in Google Maps. Indeed, Dambach is nearby, about 2-3 km, but a place under the address of "Hammerschmiede 51, 91725 Ehingen, Bayern" is even closer. Quote:Google image search? If so, tut tut! Just Google search. There were some hints as well — blurry remnants of the copyright in the bottom right corner of the photograph, the number in the name of the file (16448893.jpg; this is the ID of the photograph in the "Panoramio" service), and, finally, the term "amphitheatre" (thank you, Nathan). Quote:Over to Ildar then, I think... :-) Ok, even though Christian did not pass me the turn, I will submit the next simple question for the quiz. What is behind these towers?

The "Hammerschmiede" is a street name nearby, named a a factory that stood close by. The site is "Kastell Dambach". But, whatever. Nice pics you have there. Quote:Ok, even though Christian did not pass me the turnI thought a "yes" was enough. Sorry.

Great thread Jona - I'm learning lots.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
