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:

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.

Over to Ildar then, I think... :-)

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.

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).

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.
