Living Danube Limes
Archaeologists, ship carpenters, architects, settlement planners, and heritage specialists joined forces and built a life-size ancient Roman guard ship on the Danube, the task of which was to guard the Limes, i.e., the border of the former Roman Empire. The Danuvina Alacris started from the Black Forest and traveled to the Black Sea. The 25-person crew of the ship rowed on the Hungarian section of the Danube between August 10 and September 1, 2022, and during the 14 stops from Esztergom to Mohács, many interested people met the ship. From the beginning of the project, our company participated in the coordination of the ship's trip to Hungary, the organization of the events at the stations, and the provision of the project's domestic communication, thus contributing to the fact that Danuvina Alacris was welcomed by the most interested parties in Hungary
