The Cultural Experience Reviews

We are sorry that you found the tour disappointing, Louis. The evidence for Battle of Teutoburg Forest on site is archaeological and again has to be reconstructed to some degree. The only area of the battle where it can be definitely identified is the area displayed next to the museum. Beyond this the land is not accessible and interpretation would be speculative. Also, of course, the landscape has been massively altered in the last 2,000 years.... the great bog that formerly existed is drained and canalised. Imagination is needed to perhaps a greater extent than on more recent battle sites.The archaeology throughout consisted of soil changes and naturally is not visible, so on all sites we are looking at interpretative reconstructions of structures on the original sites. I always take pains to ensure I say this repeatedly during the tour.
