Limes road
North of the Budakalász limes road, and in
line with it, a short, about 550 m section of the
limes road can again be seen on the opposite
bank of the quarry lakes.
A milestone was uncovered during plowing
in 1943. In 1950 Sándor Soproni noticed the
gravel strip of the road. The road along the
banks of the Danube also ran along this path in
the Modern era.
Today a dirt road leads here, whose path
differs a bit from that of the Roman road, but
on the basis of the property borders the two
overlap. The reason for this is apparently the
“wandering” of the dirt road, because the
automobiles carve a new section as they avoid
the potholes.
The area is uncultivated fields that are
neglected and overgrown. If the road is
excavated, the path of the road could be
indicated with ditches or the planting of
vegetation.
Boundaries of core and buffer zones:
The core zone is the property border of the dirt
road, but only the Roman road should be
observed to its northern end. The buffer zone is
the boundaries of the lots stretching east and
west of it.
